Fig. 1From: Retrospective clinical outcomes in the definitive treatment of high-energy tibial diaphyseal fractures using hexapod external fixator versus monolateral external fixatorExternal fixation time between the two groups. Patients in the HEF group (24.2 ± 3.1 weeks, range 19 to 33 weeks) underwent a shorter average external fixation time than that in MEF group (26.3 ± 3.8 weeks, range 21 to 34 weeks) (P < 0.05)Back to article page
