We have read with great interest the recent study “Outcomes of dynamic hip screw augmented
with trochanteric wiring for treatment of unstable type A2 intertrochanteric femur
fractures” by Puram et al. [
[1]
]. While we appreciate our citation in this article, we are also afraid to find a
word-for-word plagiarism. Word-for-word plagiarism is committed when a writer takes
a sentences of 7 or more words from another source, but fails to identify the quoted
passage, fail to provide the full in-text citation crediting the authors, and fails
to provide the bibliographic reference [
