Parentheses contain the values of stored elastic energy from the stiffest and least stiff trials for each bone in each set. Values reflect the difference in stored elastic energy between the least stiff and stiffest trials. Note that all differences are positive, with the exception of the working and balancing side surangulars and the balancing side coronoid in set 3. This negative value is not seen when all bones are considered together. Also note that the difference in stored elastic energy between the least stiff and stiffest trials is higher when sutures are included in the calculation for all sets, but most dramatically in set 3.
