Table 2 Measurements of the intercondylar width changes (Δ) without loading force (0N) before and after the 5000-cycle fatigue test for the parallel, Y, and posterior two plating constructs
| Â | Parallel plating | Y plating | Posterior two plating | P-value (Kruskal-Wallistest) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Axial loading | ΔIntercondylar width (mm) (loading force: 0N) | 0.40 ± 0.26 | 0.26 ± 0.31 | 0.78 ± 0.63 | 0.246 |
Posterior bending | ΔIntercondylar width (mm) (loading force: 0N) | 0.90 ± 0.65 | 1.98 ± 1.37 | 0.62 ± 0.55 | 0.151 |
