Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Biomechanics

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear author!

I liked reading your paper about rTSA. I think the topic is worked up in a great way, and I really like the pictures - for better understanding.

A minor spell check is needed. 

After this I would recommend publication.

With kind regards.

Reviewer 3 Report

Interesting article on the biomechanics of shoulder prostheses.

I have a few comments:

Abstract:

Please explain the abbreviations: CoR and rTSA.

Conclusion

I am asking for some clear conclusions for orthopedic surgeons about the benefits of rTSA and when it is best to use it.

Author Response

Thank you for your review. As you recommended I spelled out the meaning of the abbreviations for rTSA and CoR in the abstract and also the first usage in the text. Also, as you recommended, I rewrote the final sentence of the conclusion section to provide more relevance to the orthopedic surgeon, as follows: "Ultimately, a better understanding of the biomechanical principles associated with rTSA prosthesis design and also surgical technique can help orthopedic surgeons improve clinical decision making; furthermore, this knowledge should guide future innovations and further improve rTSA clinical outcomes while also reduce complication rates. " I appreciate you taking the time to review this work.
