Dear Dr. Ben-Amotz,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to PLOS ONE. After careful consideration, we feel that it has merit but does not fully meet PLOS ONE’s publication criteria as it currently stands. Therefore, we invite you to submit a revised version of the manuscript that addresses the points raised during the review process.

PLOS ONE's staff editors have left a comment in the section 'Journal Requirements' related to the journal's publication criteria. Could you please revise the manuscript to carefully address the concerns raised?

Please submit your revised manuscript by Apr 03 2022 11:59PM. If you will need more time than this to complete your revisions, please reply to this message or contact the journal office at plosone@plos.org. When you're ready to submit your revision, log on to https://www.editorialmanager.com/pone/ and select the 'Submissions Needing Revision' folder to locate your manuscript file.

Please include the following items when submitting your revised manuscript:

• A rebuttal letter that responds to each point raised by the staff editor and reviewer(s). You should upload this letter as a separate file labeled 'Response to Reviewers'.
• A marked-up copy of your manuscript that highlights changes made to the original version. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Revised Manuscript with Track Changes'.
• An unmarked version of your revised paper without tracked changes. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Manuscript'.

If you would like to make changes to your financial disclosure, please include your updated statement in your cover letter. Guidelines for resubmitting your figure files are available below the reviewer comments at the end of this letter.

If applicable, we recommend that you deposit your laboratory protocols in protocols.io to enhance the reproducibility of your results. Protocols.io assigns your protocol its own identifier (DOI) so that it can be cited independently in the future. For instructions see: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/submission-guidelines#loc-laboratory-protocols. Additionally, PLOS ONE offers an option for publishing peer-reviewed Lab Protocol articles, which describe protocols hosted on protocols.io. Read more information on sharing protocols at https://plos.org/protocols?utm_medium=editorial-email&utm_source=authorletters&utm_campaign=protocols.

We look forward to receiving your revised manuscript.

Kind regards,

Jason Organ

Journal Requirements:

PLOS ONE's publication criteria requires that methodology is described in enough detail such that another researcher could reproduce this research (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/criteria-for-publication#loc-3). In your Methods section, please provide additional details regarding the sources of the data used in your study (e.g. the sources of medical records). If there are issues with reporting this such as confidentiality/privacy please provide an explanation for this in your 'data availability' statement, and update the methods section such that search methodology for medical records is described in a manner that could be reproducible by another researcher (for example, the types of records, type of facilities contacted, broad region in which they are located etc.). For more information regarding PLOS' policy on materials sharing and reporting, see https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/materials-and-software-sharing#loc-sharing-materials.

PLOS ONE's publication criteria includes data availability (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/criteria-for-publication#loc-7), and this policy includes requirements (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/data-availability) that authors make all data necessary to replicate their study's findings publicly availably without restriction at the time of publication. This policy page provides clarification of specific minimal requirements for data, e.g. data underlying measures of central tendancy/means/aggregates reported in a manuscript. When specific legal or ethical restrictions prohibit public sharing of the data set, authors must indicate how others may obtain access to the data. Please either make the underlying data available (e.g. by uploading with the manuscript or to a repository), or provide clarification on this in your data availability statement. In the section of your submission asking 'Describe where the data may be found in full sentences' the response currently reads 'N/A'. Please provide a response in this section when you resubmit to clarify how the data availability has been addressed.

Please also consider any reviewers comments/feedback in making any corrections to your manuscript.

Please review your reference list to ensure that it is complete and correct. If you have cited papers that have been retracted, please include the rationale for doing so in the manuscript text, or remove these references and replace them with relevant current references. Any changes to the reference list should be mentioned in the rebuttal letter that accompanies your revised manuscript. If you need to cite a retracted article, indicate the article’s retracted status in the References list and also include a citation and full reference for the retraction notice.

Reviewer's Responses to Questions

Comments to the Author

1. Is the manuscript technically sound, and do the data support the conclusions?

The manuscript must describe a technically sound piece of scientific research with data that supports the conclusions. Experiments must have been conducted rigorously, with appropriate controls, replication, and sample sizes. The conclusions must be drawn appropriately based on the data presented.

Reviewer #1: Yes

**********

2. Has the statistical analysis been performed appropriately and rigorously?

Reviewer #1: N/A

**********

3. Have the authors made all data underlying the findings in their manuscript fully available?

The PLOS Data policy requires authors to make all data underlying the findings described in their manuscript fully available without restriction, with rare exception (please refer to the Data Availability Statement in the manuscript PDF file). The data should be provided as part of the manuscript or its supporting information, or deposited to a public repository. For example, in addition to summary statistics, the data points behind means, medians and variance measures should be available. If there are restrictions on publicly sharing data—e.g. participant privacy or use of data from a third party—those must be specified.

Reviewer #1: Yes

**********

4. Is the manuscript presented in an intelligible fashion and written in standard English?

PLOS ONE does not copyedit accepted manuscripts, so the language in submitted articles must be clear, correct, and unambiguous. Any typographical or grammatical errors should be corrected at revision, so please note any specific errors here.

Reviewer #1: Yes

5. Review Comments to the Author

Please use the space provided to explain your answers to the questions above. You may also include additional comments for the author, including concerns about dual publication, research ethics, or publication ethics. (Please upload your review as an attachment if it exceeds 20,000 characters)

Reviewer #1: This is a very nice report describing the outcomes of proximal tibia fractures in dogs. The retrospective review of 45 cases, from multiple groups, provides a diverse overview that spans ages, breeds, and approaches to management. The discussion nicely integrates the findings into previous work. This paper will serve as a nice resource for providers who are dealing with these cases and those who are looking to expand on this research with case-controlled studies.

One suggestion, which is not required, is to incorporate some aspect of 'time' into the assessment. That is, it would be beneficial for the reader to have some sense of the duration of the various interventions, the time between various interventions and/or the time at which the fracture was considered 'healed'.

**********

6. PLOS authors have the option to publish the peer review history of their article (what does this mean?). If published, this will include your full peer review and any attached files.

If you choose “no”, your identity will remain anonymous but your review may still be made public.
