Pre vs post-coordination?

I wonder how other conditions with lateralities are generally dealt with, such as in ENT, or MSK e.g. limb disorders. Is laterality typically pre- or post-coordinated in those cases? 

That's a great question.  Elaine Wooler Jane Millar Ian Green - any ideas?

I also do not think we necessarily need to pre-coordinate SNOMED terminology just because some OMOP providers prefer it.  Can be a mapping between a single OMOP-related code and a post-coordinated group of SNOMED codes?  I know there is not a single correct answer here.  I suppose it is the purest in me that prefers post-coordination, as it removes redundancy and can communicate the same information with less codes required.
