Too technical

"Focal tenderness is usually present in one of three places: 1) volar prominence at the distal wrist for distal pole fractures; 2) anatomic snuff box for waist or midbody fractures; 3) distal to Lister's tubercle for proximal pole fractures." This is from a medical textbook. Only a doctor could make sense of this. Definitely NOT encyclopedic, i.e. completely useless to someone who is not a doctor.77Mike77 (talk) 20:29, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
