The Incidence and Risk Factors Associated With the Need for Fasciotomy in Tibia and Forearm Fractures: An Analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank: Erratum

In the article that appears on page e-154 of the May 2020 issue of the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, there are 2 errors in the text of the Introduction section. In the first sentence, the abbreviation for Acute Compartment Syndrome was incorrectly changed from ACS to CS, and in the second sentence, ACS was incorrectly spelled out as American College of Surgeons. The correct text is as follows:

Developing an acute compartment syndrome (ACS) that requires a fasciotomy is a well-known sequela of extremity trauma and most commonly occurs in conjunction with a fracture. Tibia and forearm fractures have the highest incidence of ACS that requires a fasciotomy when compared with other long bone fractures.

In the second sentence of the Methods section, American College of Surgeons was incorrectly changed to ACS. The correct text is as follows:

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) established the NTDB, the largest repository of trauma data in the United States, in 1997, as a public service to be a repository of trauma-related data voluntarily reported by participating trauma centers.
