Adjectival Hyphens

error

"The glenoid view is an ideal projection to inspect the glenoid rim, the glenohumeral joint and the articular surface of the humerus. This view is great to inspect the joint space for subtle fractures such as a bankart lesion post-dislocation-relocation, to look for proximal migration of humerus, as a general joint space assessment, or during post-operative evaluation."

Line 3:236 · 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-dislocation-relocation,'.

Contractions

error

"Rotation of the patient will vary due to body habitus, and this is an obvious point but highly relevant. Patients who require these films are often suffering from either chronic or acute shoulder pain and palpating the affected shoulder is far from ideal. It's advisable to observe the clavicle when rotating the patient until the midshaft of the clavicle is almost end on."

Line 53:260 · Never use contractions: use 'it is' in place of 'It's'.
