"Immobilisation techniques"

Line 53:1 · "Immobilisation techniques" is not a recognised heading for this article type.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"This view is useful in assessing suspected dislocations or fractures, localising foreign bodies or evaluating juvenile idiopathic/rheumatoid arthritis of the metacarpals, phalanges and joints in the hand."

Line 3:169 · Use the Oxford comma in 'metacarpals, phalanges and joints'.

"Preparing the room beforehand (setting up the detector, a small 30-45° immobilisation sponge to help maintain an oblique position, exposure and preparing lead gowns) is extremely beneficial for hand imaging as young children may not remain still when their affected hand is brought away from their body."

Line 52:125 · Use the Oxford comma in 'position, exposure and preparing'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"proximal to include distal radioulnar joint; patients may have referred pain from pathology other than the hand"

Line 21:48 · Use semicolons judiciously.
