Illustration of the extension deficits. Comparison of extension deficits (Mean Value and Standard Deviation) following distal humeral plating (DePuy Synthes® vs. Medartis® Aptus Elbow) 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively are presented in this figure. At all times of follow-up evaluation, the extension deficits showed significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05)
