Line 10:43 · Use the Oxford comma in 'scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum'.

"midcarpal: scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum proximally with the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate distally"

Line 10:116 · Use the Oxford comma in 'trapezoid, capitate and hamate'.

"A two-layered synovial capsule envelops the radiocarpal joint, attaching proximally to the radius and ulna, and distally to the carpal bones. The joint capsule thickens to form palmar, dorsal and collateral ligaments ¹."

Line 103:181 · Use the Oxford comma in 'palmar, dorsal and collateral'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"not a true ligament; does not provide mechanical strength"

Line 67:27 · Use semicolons judiciously.
