Owing to the change over of typesetters at the BMJ Group the authors’ corrections to the paper by Cassell et al, which was published in the October 2003 issue (Epidemiology of medically treated sport and active recreation injuries in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria, Australia Br J Sports Med 2003;37:405–409) were omitted. This mistake is much regretted and we would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the authors. The major error on page 407 of the Results section (ED presentations: first sentence of fourth paragraph) should read: Approximately 8% of people who attended an ED with a sports injury were subsequently admitted to hospital.

A fully corrected version of the paper will be posted on the web in the near future.
