Reviewer 1 Report
Excellent case report. Complete clinical pictures and follow-up. Good quality x-ray and CT scans to understand the case well.
Minor suggestions for wording:
in abstract the phrase with "restitutio ad integrum" is an unnecessary verbal flourish which is a bit distracting. I suggest deleting this phrase.
Paper refers to the Chopard joint. I have only encountered the spelling as Chopart joint.
rephrase the sentence starting with "we expose the case". More correct English would be" we describe a case" or "we outline a case" or similar wording.
at the beginning of the case presentation you stat that the patient acceded to the emergency room. This is a phrase not used in English. I suggest changing to "the patient presented to the emergency room...".
