Oxford Comma

suggestion

"It comprises the upper extremity, body and lower extremity and provides several muscular origins and insertions."

Line 3:27 · Use the Oxford comma in 'extremity, body and lower'.

"The femoral head is supported by the neck of the femur. It is globular and forms rather more than a hemisphere. It is directed caudally, medially and anteriorly. Its surface is smooth and coated in cartilage except for an ovoid depression (the fovea capitis femoris) situated a little below and behind the centre of the head. The fovea allows for the attachment of the ligament of the femoral head."

Line 7:131 · Use the Oxford comma in 'caudally, medially and anteriorly'.

"The articular surface of the lower end of the femur occupies the anterior, inferior and posterior surfaces of the condyles."

Line 45:69 · Use the Oxford comma in 'anterior, inferior and posterior'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"The greater trochanter is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence attached to the proximal end of the femur. It is directed laterally and posteriorly and, in the adult, is about 1 cm lower than the femoral head. It has four facets - anterior, superoposterior, lateral, and posterior; all have tendinous insertions except the posterior facet ^5,6. The trochanteric bursa overlies the lateral and posterior facets ⁶."

Line 10:289 · Use semicolons judiciously.
