We present a simple truncation correction for the configurational temperature which, unlike previous corrections, works even at low truncation values for the shifted and truncated Lennard-Jones potential. The success of the new correction suggests that the expression for the configurational temperature is valid also for interaction potentials with a discontinuous force, given that the discontinuity is properly accounted for.
