Descriptive Statistics for Initial and Postfracture Mechanical Parameters and Changes in Mechanical Parameters

	Failure load (N)		Stiffness (N/mm)		Work to failure (N.mm)
Initial	2615 ± 1136	(651–5481)	2938 ± 1585	(663–6741)	1730 ± 1129	(453–4158)
Postfracture	2285* ± 970	(566–4547)	1277* ± 596	(156–2357)	3219* ± 1745	(654–7524)
Δ (%)	−11 ± 19	(−53–21)	−53 ± 18	(−76 to −2)	121 ± 104	(−34–425)

Note: Δ = difference between postfracture and initial parameters in % [mean ± SD (range)]. The comparisons between initial and postfracture mechanical parameters were performed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (*p < .05).
