Table 1 Maximum load resistance of the fixation and the extension with that maximum load
From: A comparison of EFECE systems with tension band wiring for patella fracture fixation in cadavers
EFECE (n = 5) | Tension band wiring (n = 5) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
Median (25th-75th per.) | Median (25th-75th per.) | ||
Load (N) | 740.00 (720.00-790.00) | 330.00 (265.00-425.00) | 0.008 |
Extension (mm) | 2.50 (2.00-2.50) | 3.40 (2.60-3.75) | 0.095 |
