    I THINK THE TITLE OF THE PAPER SHOULD HAVE THE TERM 'FRACTURE' AND NOT 'FRACTURES'.

     

    THE PAPER NEEDS A MESSAGE TO GO ALONG WITH WHAT IS DESCRIBED.

     

    THE MECHANISM OF TRAUMA DESCRIBING ITS OCCURENCE IN A VOLLEYBALL PLAYER SHOULD BE MENTIONED TO WARRANT THE TERM VOLLEYBALL PLAYER IN THE TITLE.

     

    SPECIFIC RADIAL HEAD VIEWS SHOULD BE SHOWN.

     

    THE DISCUSSION IS QUITE LONG AND WELL WRITTEN BUT NEEDS TO BE TAILORED TO THE UNIQUENESS OF BILATERAL OCCURENCE.

     

    PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROTECTED ON THE RADIOGRAPH AND IN CASE THE PATIENT WISHED HIS NAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SECTION.

  • Other Comments:

    This is an interesting type of injury and the point is well made that a distracting injury may lead to a missed bilateral injury. The point that the patient required care from his family with his ADL's is also well made. It is often forgotten that bilateral upper limb injuries will place a heavy burden upon the family or the health service if the patient needs hospital admission.

    I found the radiograph images small and difficult to see clearly but more concerning is that I think I can identify the patients name from the radiograph. This should have been annonymised prior to submission and would be a concern if this was submitted for publication elsewhere. I would suggest that the authors ammend this as soon as possible. I would be happy to provide a further review with an alternate score when the radiographs are annonymised.

Dear Sir Thank you so much for the review. The radiograph was uploaded with the full consent of the patient, a copy of which is with me, and he wanted to be mentioned in the manuscript or figures, hence the name! Please do go ahead with the score and keep on reviewing.
