In the Current Concepts Review entitled "Clinical Performance of Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylenes in Total Hip Arthroplasty" (2007;89:2779-86) by Jacobs et al., the last full sentence in the left column on page 2784 read, "This is due to the fact that traditional polyethylene cups that are gamma-sterilized with the allowable range of 2.5 to 4 Mrad (25 to 40 kGy) have a corresponding amount of cross-linking that, on the basis of hip-simulator studies, would result in wear rates that were about 50% lower (for cups sterilized with 2.5 Mrad) to 75% lower (for those sterilized with 4 Mrad) than those of non-cross-linked polyethylene cups (Marathon cups sterilized with ethylene oxide or gas plasma)10." The word "Marathon" should not have appeared in the final parentheses, which instead should have read, "(i.e., cups that were sterilized only with ethylene oxide or gas plasma)10."
