Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Thank you for the oppurtinity to review this study. I enjoyed reading it. Its actually addresses a common feature of arthroplasty surgery which is muscle atrophy and rehab. But it is an original way to investigate it.

I have a few comments:

1. I would prefer using MRI to investigate muscle fibers quality and fatty infiltration. Im not sure how accurate the results are with a CT scan. It would also enable you to perform multiple f/u without the concern of radiation. with the big downside of cost, time consumption and probably availability of MRI

2.  I agree that examiminig the CL side woud add some benefit to the study

3. I think that being mono centric and standart approach making the study stronger

Reviewer 2 Report

Well designed and illustration study. 

Need to add a flowchart;

Discussion about the anatomical association with LMM/TM of the glutei medius and minimus and clinical outcome should be added.
