Erratum: Rates of readmission and reoperation after operative management of midshaft clavicle fractures in adolescents

Abstract

This is an erratum to an already published paper. We found an error in the results section and Table 1. Specifically, we have revised results with n ≤ 10 to be reflected as such, which is consistent with the reporting instructions by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Please note, these changes do not affect our results, and we had previously listed this requirement in the results section. We apologize for our unintentional mistake.
