Results of cantilever bending and torsion tests for locked and nonlocked groups (mean ± SD)
| Construct | Bending stiffness (N/mm)*° | Maximum bending load (N)*° | Torsional stiffness (Nmm/deg)*° | Maximum torque (Nmm)*° |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Locked, 4 cortices/segment | 5.4 ± 0.7 | 184 ± 27 | 69.6 ± 9.3 | 1,858 ± 161 |
| Nonlocked, 6 cortices/segment | 5.5 ± 0.5 | 185 ± 22 | 68.6 ± 7.9 | 1,862 ± 196 |
*p > 0.05, no statistical significant difference; °p < 0.05, statistical equivalence
