Subject: I would make just a few changes -

If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:

1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.

2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).

3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.


Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.

BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?
