Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Nerve compression syndromes are common ^1-5 and can account for 10-20% of cases in specialist clinics of neurosurgeons, orthopaedic and plastic surgeons treating those cases. The most common nerve entrapment neuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome ^1-3 followed by cubital tunnel syndrome ¹."

Line 3:119 · Use the Oxford comma in 'neurosurgeons, orthopaedic and plastic'.

"Acute injury or chronic repetitive trauma and compression are thought to cause oedema and microvascular ischaemic changes of the myelin sheath ^3,4. This can result in structural alterations such as fibrosis, focal or segmental demyelination, degeneration and inflammatory changes of the myelin sheath and possibly the nerve axons at the site of compression further leading to alterations in axonal transport and decreased mechanosensitivity ^3,4."

Line 40:213 · Use the Oxford comma in 'fibrosis, focal or segmental'.

Line 40:242 · Use the Oxford comma in 'demyelination, degeneration and inflammatory'.

"Management depends on the site and aetiology and usually initially includes conservative measures and surgery in refractory or longstanding cases ¹³. Nerve compression syndromes due to lifestyle or occupational conditions might be initially treated behavioural modifications, manual exercises, splinting and local corticosteroid therapy ^3,5."

Line 114:298 · Use the Oxford comma in 'exercises, splinting and local'.

Inline EG

suggestion

"sciatic neuropathy (e.g. piriformis syndrome)"

Line 70:34 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"possible aetiologies (e.g. mass occupying lesions)"

Line 111:29 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
