Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

First of all, I want to congratulate the authors for this very well-designed study. The manuscript offers valuable and novel information to clinicians. I recommend for publication of the manuscript after minor revision.

  • I would like to see a table with direct comparison of muscle cross sectional area preoperatively vs. postoperatively, without the use of the ratio using the contralateral leg.
  • Please describe the rehabilitation protocol of the patients. Did all of them proceed with physiotherapy?
  • It would be great to know if the impact on the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensior fascia lata was correlated to surgical time

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

Congratulations for your study on MRI findings of muscle damage after total hip arthroplasty using the complete muscle preserving procedure with an anterolateral supine approach.

I have just few comments or suggestion in order to clarify your paper.

Title: do you think it could be possible to shorten it?

Introduction:

pag. 2 line 42: I think that you could add something in order to inform about the possible correlation between SGN injury and TFL atrophy. 

pag. 2 line 55-56: "the conjoint tendon, ...muscle preservation": please, could you clarify what does it means "are confirmed directly"?

Material and Methods:

pag. 3 line 87: maybe it could be better to write "...and the Harris hip score for each muscle...", have I understood the meaning of the sentence? please clarify.

pag. 3 lines 95-97 are the same than 97-99

fig. 1-5: is it possible to add more comprehensive legends?

 

Discussion 

Pag. 8 line 210-211: "...Excessive OI dissection...severe damage": is it possible to add a reference?

Pag. 8 line 213: do you think it could be better to reword hyper-rotation with external-rotation?

Pag. 8 line 219: "...for DAA,...are posterior": please clarify.

Pag. 8 line 226: "entered": please reword

Pag. 9 lines 228-269: I think that it could be better to shorten this part of the discussion is not fully sopported by the presented results.

Pag. 10 line 270: "entry": please reword
