"Associations"

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

"Classification"

Line 17:1 · "Classification" should be H2, not H1.

Semicolons

suggestion

"The majority of metacarpal synostoses are discovered incidentally and are asymptomatic; for some people, this may be associated with syndactyly and affect hand function ⁴. Clinical evaluation of the hand may demonstrate ulnar deviation of the fifth finger, decreased range of movement, metacarpal hypoplasia, or clinodactyly ⁴."

Line 5:90 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The majority of metacarpal synostoses are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. The main surgical treatment is by osteotomy and introduction of a spacer to separate the metacarpals ⁴.Other surgical treatment options include fixation, tendon transposition, lengthening or ligamentous reconstruction ⁵."

Line 26:273 · Use the Oxford comma in 'transposition, lengthening or ligamentous'.
