Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Management of proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation includes conservative measures like closed reduction and bracing or surgical approaches as closed or open reduction with internal fixation, the latter is usually performed in case of treatment failure or delayed diagnosis ^1,2. In case of associated distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury, it should also include fixation ³. For post-reduction care, different periods of joint immobilisation and gradual weight-bearing protocols have been proposed ⁵."

Line 47:415 · 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-reduction'.
