how to write "..well-corticated..."
Subject: how to write "..well-corticated..."

Just a general question: It seems a significant percentage of radiologists will use the term "well corticated" to describe an accessory ossicle or perhaps old trauma to differentiate what may appear to be an acute fracture. Since "corticated" is not an actual word, can anyone help with an appropriate way to rephrase this? eg "At the distal tip of the fibula is a well-corticated bony lesion, likely an accessory ossicle or old trauma and not an acute fracture."


maybe "lesion with good cortical margins" or some such, but wondering if there are other suggestions.


Thanks.


corticated is listed in Webster's Universal as an adjective. So, yes, it is a legitimate word.
