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 the column, we will identify an abstract originally published in The Cochrane Library that we think is especially important, and colleagues from McMaster University will provide expert perspective on it.
