Table 4. Apparent modulus in AIS and controls calculated by homogeneous and heterogeneous finite element analysis (FEA).

Parameters	AIS N = 14	Con N = 5	% difference	p value
Apparent modulus (MPa) by homogeneous FEA experimentally obtained average modulus as Young’s modulus	96.78 ± 47.04	107.20 ± 36.67	−9.72	0.517
Apparent modulus (MPa) by homogeneous FEA Sample specific modulus	97.41 ± 49.62	105.57 ± 33.11	−7.73	0.355

Note: Difference % = (AIS − control)/(control) %.
