Stiffness in Load-to-Failure tests. Figure 5a: The 4 screws (Group 5) revealed a higher stiffness compared to the 2 screws (Group 4) and the plate osteosynthesis (Group 6), all in addition with ChronOS™ inject (Group 4, 5 [p < 0.01]; group 4, 6 [p < 0.01]). Fig. 5b: Comparing the two bone substitutes, the 4 screws with ChronOS™ inject (Group 5) demonstrated a higher stiffness than the 4 screws with Norian® Drillable (Group 8) (Group 5, 8 [p < 0.01]). An asterisk indicates a significant between-group difference
