Inline EG

suggestion

"Plate and screw fixation is a method of internal fixation used in orthopaedic surgery. It is most commonly used in open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgeries as well as fixation of bone post osteotomy (e.g. high tibial osteotomy or rotational osteotomy)."

Line 1:243 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"When applied to the convex side of an eccentrically loaded bone, plate and screw fixation uses the tension band principle and converts tensile forces to compressive forces. The plate is usually applied to the tensile side of the bone (the convex side). If applied to the compressive side (concave) then there is a higher rate of fatigue and hardware failure."

Line 2:63 · Use the Oxford comma in 'bone, plate and screw'.

"neutralisation plate: neutralise torsional, shear and bending forces when used in conjunction with interfragmentary screws and are typically used in fracture patterns such as butterfly or wedge-type fractures"

Line 27:41 · Use the Oxford comma in 'torsional, shear and bending'.

"create compression across the fracture and counteract torsional, shear and bending forces"

Line 32:62 · Use the Oxford comma in 'torsional, shear and bending'.

There Is

suggestion

"There are many shapes and designs of plates and these are used in conjunction with cortical and cancellous screws."

Line 17:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
