aP-value for overall group difference; bP-value for Fluoro to NAV; 3P-value for TNT to NAV; 4P-value for Fluoro to TNT. Data are presented as median and IQRs or counts and percentages when applicable. Bold values indicate significance (P<0.05). Fluoro - Fluoroscopy group; TNT - “Technique’n’technology” group utilizing the Airo CT navigation technology; NAV - Navigated patients from the NSQIP dataset; LOS - Length of stay; IQRs: Interquartile ranges
