Semicolons
suggestion

"If the tear is in the mid-substance with no associated fracture, the ulnar side of the joint may appear widened. If the diagnosis is suspected, stress views were previously recommended; however, this is now avoided due to concerns that performing these views could displace the torn undisplaced end of the ligament dorsal to adductor pollicis muscle, thereby creating a Stener lesion 3."

Line 14:188 · Use semicolons judiciously.
