Lint: patella-baja

patella-baja
Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Traumatic/post-surgical patella baja is frequently symptomatic and requires early surgical correction as conservative measures are rarely successful. Treatment requires either a tibial tuberosity osteotomy and reimplantation proximally or patellar tendon lengthening."

Line 35:14 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-surgical'.
