Erratum

The article entitled 'Complications of tube thoracostomy for chest trauma' by Maritz et al., which appeared on pp. 114 - 117 of the February 2009 SAMJ, contains an affiliation error. The third author, Timothy Hardcastle, was Head of Trauma, Tygerberg Hospital and Stellenbosch University, at the time the research work was carried out, and this information was unfortunately omitted in the editing process.
