description We would like to inform of an error in the reported incidences in our published article, Regional variation in low-value musculoskeletal surgery: a nationwide study from the Finnish Care Register. Specifically, the incidences for rotator cuff repair, partial meniscectomy, ankle arthroscopy, distal radius fracture fixation, and wrist arthroscopy surgeries were calculated using a too small population size. Accordingly, corrected calculations resulted in higher incidence values for these surgeries, impacting Table 3 and Figure 3, which now show accurate incidence rates. We have also updated Figure 6 and the corresponding sections of the results accordingly. These corrections did not affect any other figures or tables, not the overall conclusions, and the text in the discussion section remains unchanged. The correct data further emphasizes the findings in our original article. We apologize for any confusion caused by these errors and appreciate the opportunity to correct the publication.
