Additional information

A Note from the Editor-in-Chief: I am pleased to announce the partnership between CORR®, The Cochrane Collaboration® , and McMaster University’s Evidence-Based Orthopaedics Group for a new column, called Cochrane in CORR® . In it, we will identify an abstract originally published in The Cochrane Library that we think is especially important, and Dr. Mohit Bhandari, our Deputy Editor for Evidence-Based Orthopaedics, and his colleagues from McMaster University will provide expert perspective on it.

The author certifies that he, or a member of his immediate family, has no funding or commercial associations (eg, consultancies, stock ownership, equity interest, patent/licensing arrangements, etc) that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted article.

All ICMJE Conflict of Interest Forms for authors and Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research ® editors and board members are on file with the publication and can be viewed on request.

The opinions expressed are those of the writers, and do not reflect the opinion or policy of CORR ® or the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons®.

Cochrane Reviews are regularly updated as new evidence emerges and in response to feedback, and The Cochrane Library (http://www.thecochranelibrary.com) should be consulted for the most recent version of the review.

This Cochrane in CORR® column refers to the abstract available at: DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD003674.pub4.
