Extract
To The Editor:Our article "Treatment of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures. A
Meta-Analysis of Randomized, Controlled Trials" (2005;
87:2202-10), by Khan et al.,
was based on a review that was originally published as a Cochrane Review in
the Cochrane Library (The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 3,
2004. Chichester, UK: John Wiley and Sons). It has been brought to my
attention that the article was published in the American JBJS without
appropriate permission from John Wiley and Sons or acknowledgement of the
Cochrane Library. We would like to apologize to both journals and to their
readers for this lack of foresight.
