Table 2. Comparison between pre- and post-cyclic stiffness of the two groups.
Method of fixation | Pre-cyclic stiffness (N/mm) | Post-cyclic stiffness (N/mm) | P value |
---|---|---|---|
Bicortical (n=9) | 3.32 (SD 1.21) | 4.41 (SD 3.29) | 0.878 |
Monocortical (n=10) | 3.14 (SD 1.24) | 3.91 (SD 1.98) | 0.579 |
P (Mann Whitney test) | 0.872, not significant between both groups |
