The Study Design and Setting subsection of Materials and methods is incorrect. The correct Study Design and Setting subsection is as follows: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the Anhui provincial regional center/leading institution of the China Trauma Rescue and Treatment Association, with responsibilities for regional referral reception, specialist outreach care coordination, and centralized postoperative follow-up management of treated patients. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Anhui Medical University (SL-YX2022-137). From October 2022 to October 2023, consecutive eligible patients recorded in the Department’s clinical case registry and postoperative follow-up management process, with 12-month vital-status ascertainment, were retrospectively reviewed. Deidentified clinical records, available operative-related documentation, postoperative follow-up information, and outcome data were retrieved, verified, and analyzed by the study team under the approved protocol. Informed consent was obtained from all included patients.

The Statistical analysis subsection of Materials and methods is incorrect. The correct Statistical analysis subsection is as follows: All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 24.0 and GraphPad Prism version 10.1.2. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and compared between groups using Student’s t-test. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. Ordinal variables, including fracture reduction quality, were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test. A two-sided P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

In Tables 1, 2 and 3, there are errors in the statistical values. Please see the correct Tables 1, 2 and 3 here.
