CLOSED MANIPULATION FOR THE REDUCTION OF FRACTURES OF THE NECK OF THE RADIUS IN CHILDREN
RAPHAEL R. GOLDENBERG M.D., F.A.C.S.1
1 PATERSON, NEW JERSEY
Dr. Raphael R. Goldenberg, of Paterson, New Jersey, has requested that acknowledgnment be made that he was in error in including the reference to Watson-Jones in his article, "Closed Manipulation for the Reduction of Fractures of the Neck of the Radius in Children", published in The Journal for April 1945 (XXVII. 267). The opening sentence of his article reads: "In the treatment of fractures of the neck of the radius in children, where the displacement is marked, many authorities [reference numbers] believe that only two methods are likely to give satisfactory results,either excision of the capital fragment or open reduction." Sir Reginald Watson-Jones should not have been included as one of these authorities.
