"post-reduction: when separation of the dorsal middle phalanges bases from the head of the proximal phalanx can be seen on the post-reduction lateral radiography it can indicate instability, this is known as a "V sign" 4"

Line 50:5 · 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: 'post-reduction:'.

"Dislocations need to be reduced, preferably under a digital block 2. Most dorsal dislocations can be treated conservatively, even if they are associated with a small avulsion fracture (25% of the articular surface) then they usually require internal fixation 2."
