Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Grade 1 and 2 injuries have usually favourable outcomes with a return to work/return to sport as early as 10-20 days post-injury ¹. Most grade 3 injuries (>75%) are associated with other ligamentous injuries, with anterior cruciate ligament injury being the most common and therefore might need different management. But even in combined anterior cruciate/medial collateral ligament injuries, ACL reconstruction after conservative medial collateral ligament injury management seems to be a widely accepted method ^6,7. Surgical repair should be considered in chronic medial collateral ligament tears, bony avulsion injuries, and Stener-like lesions of the medial collateral ligament ^1,8."

Line 66:121 · 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-injury'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Medial collateral ligament injuries of the knee comprise sprains, partial and complete tears. Medial collateral ligament injuries are one of the most common ligamentous injuries of the knee."

Line 1:98 · Use the Oxford comma in 'sprains, partial and complete'.

"Injury of the deep portions of the medial collateral ligament is evident as high-signal intensity, swelling and discontinuity of the medial meniscofemoral and meniscotibial ligaments or an avulsion injury of the meniscotibial ligament (reverse Segond fracture)."

Line 51:92 · Use the Oxford comma in 'intensity, swelling and discontinuity'.
