Note:Age and sex variables are based on the number of patients (n = 95), while side of injury and fracture subtypes are based on the number of fracture cases (n = 104), as some patients had bilateral fractures. p -values for continuous variables (e.g., age) are calculated using the independent-samples t-test, while p -values for categorical variables (e.g., sex, side of injury, and fracture subtypes) are calculated using the Chi-square test. Statistical significance is indicated by p < 0.05
