Sir,We would like to thank the authors1 for showing keen interest in our editorial2 and raising some very pertinent queries.The editorial team has taken an initiative to help the authors to improve the quality of their writing skills. The editorial on case reports2 and some of the other previous editorials34 are a step in that direction. We plan to publish similar editorials in the future too. As rightly pointed out by the authors, the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics (IJO) had stopped accepting case reports temporarily, but since March 2017, we have started accepting them again. Therefore, the editorial team felt that it was appropriate time to inform our readers about how to write case reportWe agree with the authors that it is difficult to get a case report published. However, we assure the authors and our readers that, if they submit a case report which has a key learning message which may change or alter practice, we would definitely consider it for publication after diligent review processWe hope that this editorial would help at large the readers in writing the case reports.
