Figure 2.

A, Chart of the middle line indicating the median; the top and bottom of the box delineate the 25th and 75th percentiles. The shaded areas indicate the distribution and density of the data. The BHI was lower (faster healing) in the NSAID-free protocol patients, P = 0.07. B, Scatter plot of BHI versus days on NSAIDs showing no correlation, P = 0.73. This implies that there is not a trend for NSAIDs to delay healing with longer exposure, which may have been inferred from (A). BHI = bone healing index
