Dear Sir,
After reading the article by Sewell and Eastwood entitled “Screening and treatment in developmental dysplasia of the hip—where do we go from here?” [1], I found there may be an error. To make the classification more clear, the table should read:
Graf 2b: 50°≦α-angle<60° [2] instead of Graf 2b: 43°≦α-angle<60°.
Besides, the β angle also has a typing error in the table when describing Graf 2c and 2d hips. The table should read:
Graf 2c: 43°≦α-angle≦49°, β-angle<77°
Graf 2d: 43°≦α-angle≦49°, β-angle>77°
