FOX test

Score Criteria Significance
1 All of the follicular units are extracted intact, least difficult harvesting (popping out of grafts) Excellent. FOX positive
2 Significant loss of surrounding fat around lower part of follicle or < 20% of amputation Good. FOX positive, but may be difficult in subsequent sessions due to scarring
3 Difficult emergent angle Questionable; greater surgical skills, experience and orientation are needed. FOX neutral
4 Significant amount of surrounding fat avulsed and amputation of significant number of distal follicles Poor. FOX negative
5 Significant damage to mostly all the grafts with upper portion of follicles avulsed from lower segment Poor. FOX negative
