The fourth sentence in the second paragraph of the Results section should read as:

The author would like to correct the error in the publication of the original article. The corrected details are given below for your reading.

There was a significant difference in the rate of a history of neither corticosteroid intake nor alcohol abuse between SIF and ON patients (p = 0.0001).

The results section of the abstract should read as:

The Eighth sentence in the second paragraph of the Results section should read as:

Results The age, proportion of females, the rate of a history of neither corticosteroid intake nor alcohol abuse, and the presence of vertebral compression fracture in subchondral insufficiency fracture were significantly higher than those with osteonecrosis (p = 0.0001, 0.0212, 0.0001, and 0.0040, respectively). ORs for SIF were 12.01 [95 % confidence intervals (CI) 1.35–106.80] and 7.29 (95 % CI 1.91– 27.86), if the patient were female and 70 years of age or older, respectively. In addition, OR for SIF was extremely high (OR 56.01, 95 % CI 6.12–512.87) compared to ON, if the patients have a history of neither corticosteroid intake nor alcohol abuse.

Furthermore, OR for SIF was extremely high (OR 56.01, 95 % CI 6.12–512.87) compared to ON, if the patients have a history of neither corticosteroid intake nor alcohol abuse (Table 2).

The first sentence in the Discussion section should read as: This study first showed the utility of clinical features for the differentiation of SIF from ON, when the patients have a history of neither corticosteroid intake nor alcohol abuse OR for SIF was extremely high (56.01).
