Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Osteonecrosis (plural: osteonecroses) is a generic term referring to the ischaemic death of the constituents of bone. It has a wide variety of causes and can affect nearly any bone in the body. Most sites of involvement have an eponym associated with osteonecrosis of that area (see list below), and these sites are discussed individually, as each site has unique clinical, aetiologic and prognostic features."

Line 1:385 · Use the Oxford comma in 'clinical, aetiologic and prognostic'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Historically, the terms ischaemic and avascular necrosis were typically reserved for subchondral (epiphyseal) osteonecrosis, whereas bone infarct referred to medullary (metaphyseal) osteonecrosis. The term avascular necrosis (and also aseptic necrosis) is usually seen in older publications. Osteonecrosis is a more general and inclusive term, and is now preferably used ¹⁰; it is also important to note that necrosis is always avascular. However, often both osteonecrosis and avascular necrosis are often used interchangeably, which can lead to confusion ⁷."

Line 4:395 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"diffuse oedema: oedema is not an early sign; indeed, studies show that oedema occurs in advanced stages and is directly correlated with pain"

Line 105:51 · Use semicolons judiciously.

There Is

suggestion

"There is no single affected demographic as the underlying predisposing factors are varied."

Line 7:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
