In our spreadsheet for calculating proper timing of epiphyseodesis, an error has been identified in the interpolation equation for the multiplier. This error results in only minimal differences in the timing calculations and a corrected version is   given below. graphic file with name 11832_2007_45_Figa_HTML.jpgI am grateful for this observation to Harald Steen MD/Ph.D, Biomechanics Lab, Department of Orthopaedics, Rikshospitalet University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
