Effect of sex, BMI and wedge height on the osseous consolidation. (A) Sex effect on the rate of osseous consolidation. (B) A BMI of 32 kg/m2 was set as inflection point to investigate the effect of BMI on the consolidation rate. (C) A wedge height of 8 mm was set as inflection point to investigate the effect of the wedge height on the consolidation rate. Data are represented as scatter diagrams (mean ± 95% CI). Two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test was used to determine p-values, as indicated. N = 68 data points (geometric mean of n = 3) were used for the individual analyses.
