Figure 2From: The effect of muscle contusion on cortical bone and muscle perfusion following reamed, intramedullary nailing: a novel canine tibia fracture modelOverall muscle perfusion. Values for each time point were the average reading from the three different laser doppler flowmetry measurement locations. The values at each time point were all normalized by dividing by the average value at baseline. The error bars indicate one standard error of the mean. Statistically significant differences between Contusion and No-Contusion groups are indicated (*, p < 0.05). Statistical differences present when comparing procedures at each time to baseline only occurred in the Contusion group (#, p < 0.01).Back to article page
