In the article titled “Comparison of outcomes of reinforced tension band wiring and precontoured plate and screw fixation in the management of Mayo type IIIB olecranon fractures” [
1], two numerical errors were found in the Abstract that require correction.
On lines 7–8, “Of these, 11 patients underwent reinforced TBW, and 13 received precontoured PF” has been corrected to “Of these, 13 patients underwent reinforced TBW, and 11 received precontoured PF.” This correction reflects the actual group sizes used in the statistical analysis, consistent with Table 1 and the rest of the manuscript.
On lines 18–19, “Reoperations were required in 15.8% of the reinforced TBW group due to hardware irritation” has been corrected to “Reoperations were required in 7.7% of the reinforced TBW group due to hardware irritation.” This correction reflects the accurate number of reoperations (1 out of 13 patients), consistent with Table 3 and the Results section on page 99.
These corrections are limited to the Abstract and do not affect the study’s results, statistical interpretations, or overall conclusions. The authors sincerely thank the readers and editors for their attention to this matter.
