Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Kager fat pad, also known as the pre-Achilles fat pad, refers to the fat within the Kager triangle, which normally appears lucent (fat density) on radiographs and has relatively well-defined margins. Pathologies affecting nearby structures result in loss of the normal margins and increased density in the triangle."

Line 1:62 · 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-Achilles'.
