Table 2.

Multivariate adjusted (for hallux valgus angle and metatarsal index) comparison between deformed and control feet regarding cortical thickness (medial, lateral, dorsal and plantar) of the first and second metatarsal bones

  Model 1 Model 2
Effect Roy’s greatest root p value Roy’s greatest root p value
Status (deformed or control) 0.196 0.046 0.213 0.031
Hallux valgus angle (°) 0.063 0.717 0.068 0.640
Metatarsal index 0.136 0.189 0.130 0.217

Cortical thickness is standardised either per intramedullary thickness (model 1) or per entire shaft thickness (model 2). Null hypothesis = no overall difference
