'Congruency' or 'Congruence'? 'Put' or 'Putted'?
I’m currently reading scientific articles about topics related to physiotherapy, and I’m finding some unknown vocabulary. It's my first analysis on study protocols.
Does word ‘congruency’ exist? Here it’s the complete sentence: “Any additional X-rays are used only to exclude other diagnoses, such as a fracture or disturbance of the joint congruency, based on the Ottawa ankle rules [5].”
I did not find any meaning for that word, just ‘congruence’. What does ‘congruency’ mean actually?
Another rare word is ‘putted’. ”In 2000 Pijnenburg et al. conducted a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials of existing treatment strategies, in which they also putted results after treatment versus minimal treatment against each other [9].”
Is ‘putted’ the same as ‘put’ (past tense)? Is it really common?
Thank you very much :)
