Biomechanical Comparison between Inverted Triangle and Vertical Configurations of Three Kirschner Wires for Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation in Dogs: A Cadaveric Study
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Well designed study, nicely written paper. Good discussion of limitations
Specific
Ln 167 – it would be more likely for the bone to break and the K-wires to bend, than for K-wires to break. Add other reasons for considering a specimen failed
Ln 225 – change point to load
Ln 281 – same comment
