Yet again, just looking for confirmation on something. I'm sure there are a few accepted ways to deal with this problem, but as this is a fairly technical book aimed at surgeons, I would like to use the most appropriate approach. I know there is more than one term here, but I am hoping that my choice is ok.
A few egs:
Quando quest fascia e' troppo stretta e rigida, specie nella porzione *postero-inferiore*... = I used posteroinferior (or is posterior inferior better?)
... la porzione *supero-laterale* del torace = superolateral (or upper lateral)
Mastoplactica riduttiva a peduncolo *postero-infero-superiore* = not sure onthis one, I have gone with posterior inferior superior pedicle (?)
Thank you!

supralateral and posteroinferior
I just can't say whether it is better ir not to put a hyphen between the two parts - but here again I think both options are ok

I\'d put the hyphen in, anyway

physicians use mostly latin for anatomical coordinates like these, thus supero is ok in such a context (all the more for infra, which in addition would bring in some confounding: it\'s below in english, but it\'s nearly a synonymous of intra- in latin, which means something like within!)
(you are very wellcome, amy - by following your answers (and sometimes trying to help you out) I\'m learning quite a few things ;o) )

ok, as it seems, today is the day I\'m going to mess it up a lot! quit working right now!
errata:
*by following your QUESTIONS (though the answers also teach me a lot!)
*supra (as well as infra, as I said) is LATIN as well, but in medical context supero and infero are \'more latin\' (ok, let\'s simply say they are more used :o)
*infra means within, as I said, but it means ALSO below, hence the confounding!
(not going to read it over again - I\'m afraid of what more I might find! :o)
