Figure 4

The side bending stiffness of all the included osteosynthesis systems. The characters in orange represent significant differences in stiffness (N/mm). D, drill diameter (mm); T, tap diameter (mm). Error bars: mean values ± standard deviation (N/mm). The dotted line separates the titanium (left) and biodegradable systems (right). All the stiffness values, including the P-values of the pairwise comparisons, are reported in Table 3.
