a

Statistical tests performed on healed vs. nonunion nondisplaced groups. Displaced group were included in the table for descriptive purposes. Chi-square or Fisher exact tests were used for categorical data and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used for continuous non-normally distributed data to determine statistical significance between groups at an alpha level of 0.05.

c

The IQR within parentheses is also the range for the displaced LTO group because of the low sample sizes of completed PROs.

b

The first surgery occurrence was used for the patient specific data and associated comparative analyses.
