Further comments on the paper
Comments: This case study presents craniomaxillofacial (CMF) injury as the result of war incidents to highlight the differences in injury type as well as the impact that an austere environment has on treatment. The significance of the understanding of injury patterns and the knowledge of their background have been underlined in the study. The physical impact of CMF injury has been looked upon, but the psychological gravity of such trauma which is of equal importance to surgical treatment has not been addressed. Lack of precision and accuracy in the report findings due to insufficiency of good documentation and radiological resources and the inability to apply any of the standardized classification systems such as ZS system comes out as few of the limitations of this study.
Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?
A: Yes - Suitable to be published
If you have any questions and clarifications you can write to the journal.
