  1. Using surgical protocols and reports of each patient we collected intraoperative data for each patient. Analysing this data and comparing the VA-LCP® group with the NCB-PT® group we found a considerable difference between both groups regarding the mean time from injury to surgery as well as the mean operation time. Both were statically significant. The other intraoperative parameters showed no significant difference
