  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    In this paper the authors describe the clinical and radiologic findings of a glenoid osteochondroma with a fast recovery after surgical excision in a worker and athletic patient. This is a very interesting and well written case. Tha argument is moderately important.

    Yes I think the claims are properly placed in the context of the previous literature


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
