Why is an apostrophe used in disorders such as miner's elbow and housemaid's knee but not in eponyms?
What will be an ideal response?
Disease entities named for an individual (eponym) do not take the possessive form but other terms used as descriptors follow Standard English grammar rules and do still take the possessive form. The American Medical Association adopted the non-possessive style of writing eponyms to promote consistency and clarity.
