The online issue of Acta Orthopaedica 81(2) initially published on 8 April 2010 contained an error in the order of contents. The article by Kuribayashi et al. “Vitamin E prevents steroid-induced osteonecrosis in rabbits”, previously published in 81(1), was incorrectly entered in place of Kock et al. “Bone scintigraphy after osteochondral autograft transplantation in the knee” which had appeared in the print issue.
To correct this mistake the running order of the online issue was amended to match the print version on 29 June 2010.
As a result of our error, citations for Acta Orthopaedica 81(2) in the National Library of Medicine's Medline Index are not correct.
The correct citation for:
Kuribayashi M, Fujioka M, Takahashi KA, Arai Y, Ishida M, Goto T, Kubo T. Vitamin E prevents steroid-induced osteonecrosis in rabbits. Acta Orthop. 2010 Apr; 81(2): 206-12. (PubMed PMID: 20146637; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC2852158)
Should be:
Kuribayashi M, Fujioka M, Takahashi KA, Arai Y, Ishida M, Goto T, Kubo T. Vitamin E prevents steroid-induced osteonecrosis in rabbits. Acta Orthop. 2010 Feb; 81(1): 154-60. (PubMed PMID: 20170436; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC2856221).
The article by Kock et al. is currently not in the index, but should appear as:
Kock NB, van Tankeren E, Oyen WJG, Wymenga AB, van Susante JLC. Bone scintigraphy after osteochondral autograft transplantation in the knee. Acta Orthop. 2010 Feb; 81(1): 206-10.
In addition, due to the difference in the number of pages between Kuribayashi et al. and Kock et al., all subsequent papers in this issue are indexed with incorrect page numbers on Medline.
