Parentheses

suggestion

"The interossei muscles, form part of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, and as a group consisting of four palmar (1^st is often rudimentary) and four dorsal muscles. Collectively the interossei contribute to abduction and adduction of the fingers and also contribute to flexion of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPJ) and extension of the interphalangeal joints (IPJ) through their insertion onto the extensor hood. The reference axis through which abduction and adduction occur is the long axis of the 3^rd phalanx (middle finger)."

Line 1:141 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"primary: adduction of thumb, Index, ring and little fingers at the MCPJ joints; NB: the middle finger cannot adduct"

Line 18:34 · Use the Oxford comma in 'Index, ring and little'.

"The palmar interossei muscles of the hand are unipennate and more volar in relation to the dorsal interossei. There are four muscles in this group, however, the 1^st is rudimentary and often considered part of either the adductor pollicis or the flexor pollicis brevis ^1,3. They adduct the thumb, index, ring and little fingers along the long axis of the middle finger. Just like the dorsal interossei, the tendons pass deep to the transverse metacarpal ligament."

Line 24:336 · Use the Oxford comma in 'index, ring and little'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"primary: adduction of thumb, Index, ring and little fingers at the MCPJ joints; NB: the middle finger cannot adduct"

Line 18:83 · Use semicolons judiciously.

There Is

"The palmar interossei muscles of the hand are unipennate and more volar in relation to the dorsal interossei. There are four muscles in this group, however, the 1^st is rudimentary and often considered part of either the adductor pollicis or the flexor pollicis brevis ^1,3. They adduct the thumb, index, ring and little fingers along the long axis of the middle finger. Just like the dorsal interossei, the tendons pass deep to the transverse metacarpal ligament."

Line 24:114 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

"There is no palmar interosseous muscle for the third digit as it cannot be adducted towards itself."

Line 25:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
