Lint: trochanteric-fracture

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Sub-trochanteric fractures generally have a good prognosis due to the good supply of blood and adequate collateral circulation to this region of the femur with a low incidence of avascular necrosis and non-union. Post-operative infection, however, is a potentially serious complication."

Line 67:217 · 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-operative'.
Prefix Hyphens

"Inter-trochanteric fracture"
