Table 3.
Surgical time and pre- and postoperative measurements of the coracoclavicular space with long-term losses of the reduction achieved in the immediate postoperative period.a
| Surgical time in minutes | Pre-op measurement (mm) | Immediate post-op measurement (mm) | Final measurement (mm) | Immediate post-op reduction percentage loss | Period in which the loss of reduction occurred, in weeks | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group I | 31 | 19.1 | 4.89 | 8.23 | 68% | 14.5 |
| Group II | 19 | 19.1 | 5.45 | 11.25 | 106% | 12.7 |
| Group III | 29 | 20 | 4.96 | 8.17 | 65% | 18.8 |
| Group IV | 59 | 18 | 4.27 | 8.86 | 107% | 20.2 |
| p-Value (between I and II) | <0.000000001 | 0.85 | 0.68 | 0.6 | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| p-Value (between I and III) | 0.12 | 0.97 | 0.95 | 0.47 | 0.4 | 0.42 |
| p-Value (between I and IV) | 0.000002 | 0.96 | 0.93 | 0.24 | 0.2 | 0.09 |

Values are presented as means. The percentage of loss of reduction was calculated by comparing the outcome of the measurement between the coracoid and clavicle, with the measurement observed in the immediate postoperative period.
