Re: Pretibial oedema and Re: Pretibial oedema in venous thrombosis of the arm

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your comments. We are very sorry for our mistake, due to the fact that we extracted our PTS score from that adopted for lower extremities, and forgot to suppress the word "pretibial".

Please accept our excuses

On behalf of my coworkers
