  • Other Comments:

    Due appreciation is to be given to the authors for their interest in documentation of this rare injury.
    However certain issues require attention.
    Background is not sufficiently referenced.  Avoid using generalized statements.
    Mention not made to the number of articles is available in literature or to the lack of such articles. 
    Language requires extensive review.  For instance: 'complained of' instead of 'complaints of'; 'At one year follow-up, there was no extensor lag and flexion was possible up to 110 degrees' instead of 'There was no extensor lag at one year and flexion was possible up to 110 degrees';  'has been stated' instead of 'had been stated', etc.
    Why six weeks of traction was required for minimal proximal migration.
    It is not possible to comment on reduction on a single view of radiograph.  Documentation of lateral radiograph is essential.  Though provided radiographic appears to be an oblique view.
    Though provided radiograph appears to show varus at the fracture.
    Intraoperative   varus laxity was due to ligament rupture or due to increased medial joint space from inadequate reduction.
    Mention is not made on the varus deformity at follow up or the shortening developing due to that needed.
    It is better to edit unnecessary details from the radiographs as seen in the pre OP radiograph.
