Fig. 4
Bar charts showing torque at failure
and degrees of rotation to failure for the three synthetic constructs
of gapped short nail (GSN), unicortical short nail (USN) and bicortical
long nail (BLN). A statistically significant difference was observed
for torque at failure between GSN and BLN (p = 0.02). The error
bars depict the standard deviation.
