"Madelung deformity was first described in 1878 by Otto Wilhelm Madelung (1846-1926), a German surgeon ⁴."

Line 58:54 · In a biographical citation, the date should be correctly spaced: '<strong>Otto Wilhelm Madelung </strong>(1846'

Adjectival Hyphens

error

"pseudo-Madelung deformity: shows negative ulnar variance"

Line 61:11 · 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: 'pseudo-Madelung'.

"trauma: distal radius and ulnar trauma can cause a pseudo-Madelung deformity when the distal radius medial joint fuses with the ulna while the lateral joint space continues to grow; this is seen especially when the physis is still open"

Line 62:62 · 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: 'pseudo-Madelung'.

"infection: can cause abnormal fusion of the distal radial and ulnar growth plates, and a pseudo-Madelung deformity occurs when the distal radius medial joint fuses with the ulna while the lateral joint space continues to grow"

Line 63:97 · 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: 'pseudo-Madelung'.
