Table 2.

Fatigue resistance of the connectors subjected to the rotating-bending test

  F50 SD Upper Lower
External hex interface 53.5 7.80 49.5 57.5
Cone-in-cone interface 44.0 2.49 42.3 45.7
Internal hex interface 45.0 3.40 43.1 46.9

F50=mean failure level (force level at which 50% of the samples survive and 50% fail before 106 cycles). When the interfaces with overlapping CIs were combined, 1 group was identified: group A - external hex interface. SD= standard deviation
