The results are now corrected and marked with red in the following page, which should replace the fourth page in our article.

 

(4.3–7.0). The revision rate was 2.9% (2.0–3.9), of which 1.6% (0.9–2.3) was caused by infections and 1.0% (0.4–1.5) by dislocations. At 1–year follow–up, 93% reported improved functionality in the operated limb and 95% reported that they would have been willing to have the surgery all over again.
