Figure 1.

Peripheral blood counts of leukocytes (A), neutrophils (B), monocytes (C), and thrombocytes (D) during the first 2 weeks after major trauma.

Notes: Patients with normal (green) and impaired (red) fracture healing of the tibia. The peripheral blood-count curves of leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and thrombocytes were analyzed with mixed linear models, and differed significantly between healing groups during the first 2 weeks after trauma (P-values were 0.0122, 0.0083, 0.0204, and <0.0001, respectively). In addition, each separate time point was compared between outcome groups using an independent t-test or nonparametric equivalent. For these subanalyses: ^*P<0.05; ^**P<0.01; ^***P<0.001. Gray bars represent reference values.

Abbreviation: SEM, standard error of mean.
