All surgeries were performed at a tertiary referral hospital between January 2019 and April 2023 by surgeons with similar levels of experience. Main outcome measurements included tip-apex distance (TAD), surgery duration, haemoglobin loss, and hospital stay duration. Two independent assessors measured TAD using the post-operative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. Kyle\u2019s classification was used to categorize the IT fractures. IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 for Mac (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the statistical analysis.
