However, in multivariable analysis, smoking (odds ratio [OR], 5.29; p < 0.001), increased BMI (OR, 1.653; p = 0.001), and pedicle length (OR, 1.241; p = 0.030) remained independent predictors, whereas the defect site did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.083, p = 0.155).

showed a trendno p-value reported

Among defect sites, ankle and heel defects showed a trend toward increased odds of complications compared to lower leg defects; however, these associations did not reach statistical significance (ankle vs. lower leg: OR, 11.954; 95% CI, 0.721–198.240; p = 0.083; heel vs. lower leg: OR, 8.56; 95% CI, 0.443–165.441; p = 0.155).
