Figure 3

The tensile load and stiffness of all the included osteosynthesis systems. The characters in blue and orange represent significant differences in maximum load (N) and stiffness (N/mm). D, drill diameter (mm); T, tap diameter (mm). Error bars: mean values ± standard deviation. The dotted line separates the titanium (left) and biodegradable systems (right). All the load and stiffness values, including the P-values of the pairwise comparisons, are reported in Table 2.
