The reflextion of the muscles was reflexed proximally to reflex and expose the radial bone proximall - sm

Is that correct? For some unknown reason, reflex and reflect completely turn me into an idiot! I know this is not rocket science but boy do I get stumped with these 2!

First of all, let me just say... - TX-MT

...this entire sentence really stinks.

Secondly, I do not believe there is any word spelled with both the X and T as you have it. It's "reflection" with a C.

Thirdly, I would have thought it was "reflected" and "reflect," but what do I know? We're not dealing with reflexes here, are we? We're talking about reflecting the muscles out of the way during surgery, right?

Fourth, I'm assuming/hoping you just accidentally left the Y off the end of "proximally" at the end of the sentence.

Don't you just love how they get so redundant, using different forms of the same word 3 or 4 times throughout the same sentence? Ugh! They could have just said, "The muscles were reflected proximally to expose the proximal radial bone." Maybe a form of "proximal" was required twice to show both the direction the muscles were reflected and what end of the bone was exposed, but all the reflection, reflected, reflect stuff was completely unnecessary. I don't envy you.
