Dr. Om is correct in stating that details about the nature and type of the fractures were not included in our publication. These and other details delineated in a number of tables would have resulted in a more lengthy manuscript and were withheld at the suggestion of the reviewers. These injury characteristics included fracture classification (AO/OTA), soft-tissue injury classification (AO and Tscherne), and Gustilo and Anderson open fracture classification, all prospectively gathered according to the LEAP protocol1.
