"Pre-procedural evaluation"

Line 33:5 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Pre-procedural'.

"check an intra-articular needle tip position with a small amount of iodinated contrast via connection tubing and save a post-injection image/video run"

Line 105:128 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-injection'.

Semicolons
suggestion

"administer intra-articular injectate; the hip is a medium-sized joint and the injected volume should reflect this"

Line 31:44 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"using ultrasound, identify the anterior hip joint in a longitudinal plane; parallel to the long axis of the femoral neck, and then optimise imaging and mark the skin entry point at the end of the probe 1"

Line 89:81 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"optimise imaging field and using the metal rod mark the skin at the target entry point; both ‘eye of the needle’ and oblique needle techniques are used and the lateral femoral neck is the target 2"

Line 101:94 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"initial injections can be extra-articular but if the needle is repositioned before giving the injectate this often has no effect; excess extra-articular solution may distort an MRI arthrogram, especially if the MRI injectate is outside of the joint ref"
