Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion
Subject: Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion

Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words (5th Edition) has it as one word. I could not find it anywhere in that book as two words. Personally, this is the way that I have always typed it.

On the other hand, if you look in Dorland's (31st Edition) under flexion, it says, "plantar flexion."

I am not sure if either way is more accepted over the other. Perhaps client preference.

Have a nice holiday.
