Extract

To The Editor:The purpose of this letter is to point out an error in the article, "Specialty Update. What's New in Adult Reconstructive Knee Surgery" (2004;86:1839-49), by Archibeck and White. On page 1842, the authors quote my 2004 podium presentation at the Knee Society dealing with a prospective randomized study of two types of mechanical compression devices to prevent thromboembolism after knee arthroplasty. It was stated, in the article by Archibeck and White, that there was one fatal pulmonary embolism in the group treated with the circumferential calf-compression device.
