Dear colleagues, Thank you for your interest in our manuscript entitled “Bicolumnar 90e90 plating of AO 13C Type Fractures”. We also thank you for your warning to prevent the misunderstanding. The correct form of this sentence should be “All patients were previously active, and only 2 had to change their occupation after the operation due to lasting impairment” In our hospital, most of our patients belong to the low socioecenomic status and have severe osteoporosis. AO type 13C fractures are more likely to develop nonunion and failure especially in osteoporotic patients. For these reasons we prefer to start the gentle physiotheraphy after 2-3 weeks and our functional results are comparable to the literature. In our opinion, close follow-up are very important in these group of patients and succesfull functional results can be provided by multidisciplinary team approach. Every physiotheraphy protocol should be organised according to the each patient’s own status not to the generalised opinions. We should keep our mind that “every problem has its own solution”.
