RETRACTED ARTICLE: A review of translational medicine. The future paradigm: how can we connect the orthopedic dots better?

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Current Medical Research and Opinion, have retracted the following article:

Mohamed Mediouni, Daniel R. Schlatterer, Henning Madry, Magali Cucchiarini & Balwant Rai (2018) A review of translational medicine. The future paradigm: how can we connect the orthopedic dots better?, Current Medical Research and Opinion, 34:7, 1217-1229, DOI: 10.1080/03007995.2017.1385450

Following publication, concerns were raised about by a third a party about the integrity and sources of the images presented in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors confirmed that their images had been reused from the following publications, without appropriate attribution:

• Lughmani et al, Drilling in cortical bone: a finite element model and experimental investigations. 2015 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1751616114003427

• Moon et al, Effect of Anteromedial Portal Entrance Drilling Angle during Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Three-Dimensional Computer Simulation. 2014 https://www.eymj.org/DOIx.php?id=10.3349/ymj.2014.55.6.1584

• Bertllo et al, Drilling of Bone: Practicality, Limitations and Complications Associated with Surgical Drill-Bits. 2011 https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/19652

• Cartiaux et al, Improved Accuracy with 3D Planning and Patient-Specific Instruments During Simulated Pelvic Bone Tumor Surgery. 2013 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10439-013-0890-7

Upon further review, text overlap with the following published article was also identified:

• Benassi, Maria Serena et al., The role of imaging for translational research in bone tumors, European Journal of Radiology, Volume 82, Issue 12, 2115 – 2123

This overlap was identified under the section “Precise tumor localization: critical to patient outcomes – can it be improved?”.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
