Figure 3From: Initial intramuscular perfusion pressure predicts early skeletal muscle function following isolated tibial fracturesRegression analysis of perfusion pressure on the muscle deficit after 24 hours, in plantar flexion at 4 weeks after trauma. (a) for the peak torque and (b) for the mean power. (Rpeak = -0.73; Rmean = -0.696; p < 0.05) Muscle deficit is given as a percentage of the non injured side, e.g. 80 percent means a 20 percent deficit.Back to article page
