In the article by Lara et al in the March 2022 issue of The Journal of Hand Surgery (“Traditional Versus Digital Media—Based Hand Therapy After Distal Radius Fracture”, Vol. 47, No. 3, p. 291.e1-291.e8), some of the values and units for grip strength in Table 3 were incorrect. Please see the following corrected table. The publisher and authors regret this error.

- Traditional Versus Digital Media–Based Hand Therapy After Distal Radius FractureJournal of Hand SurgeryVol. 47Issue 3
- PreviewDistal radius fractures (DRFs) are common injuries with a rising incidence. A substantial portion of the cost of care is attributable to therapy services. Our purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-directed hand therapy program guided by digital media compared with that of traditional therapy.
