摘要

To the Editor: We read the article by Herzog et al. [1] with great interest. We found the study interesting because the technique described by the authors is similar to our previously published article [2], referred by the authors in the Introduction and Discussion sections of their study. Although their "novel" technique is very similar to ours with the idea of controlling the external rotation, coronal tilt, and translation of the proximal fragment by using the "joystick" K-wire, there are some slight modifications in the technique, which we cannot clearly understand.
