چکیده

Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained an error. The title was written as “Novel patient engagement and recruitment strategies for an RCY of two NHS treatments for ankle osteoarthritis total ankle replacement versus arthrodesis the TARVA trial” and should instead have been written as follows: “Novel patient engagement and recruitment strategies for an RCT of two NHS treatments for ankle osteoarthritis total ankle replacement versus arthrodesis the TARVA trial” where RCY should be RCT which stands for Randomised Controlled Trial.
