In the article entitled “Reliability and Validity of Radiographic Measurement of the Humerus-Elbow-Wrist Angle in Healthy Children” (2017 March;2[1]:e00012), by Hasegawa et al., the proximal line drawn in Figure 1 was different from the line described in the Materials and Methods section, which reads “The proximal line was drawn at the level of the radial tuberosity, and the distal line was made at the level of the top of the radial bowing (Fig. 1).” The correct figure is presented below.
