"Associations"

Line 10:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").

Commas

suggestion

"Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare form of localised gigantism, and many terms have been used interchangeably, with resulting confusion. They include macrodactyly, megalodactyly, digital gigantism, macromelia, partial acromegaly, macrosomia, and limited gigantism ³."

Line 1:192 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Plain films usually suffice and demonstrate splayed, lengthened and broadened phalanges with endosteal and periosteal bone deposition."

Line 19:48 · Use the Oxford comma in 'splayed, lengthened and broadened'.
