The significance of variation in cortical trabecular bone stiffness between specimens.

Significance difference within a part was determined through either an aKruskal-Wallis (p bANOVA (p cMann-Whitney U test (p dDunn’s post hoc test, eDunnett’s T3 post hoc test or fTukey’s post hoc test. The direction in which a part was analysed is defined as: anteroposterior (AP), mediolateral (ML) and ventrodorsal (VD). All specimens were tested in the ML direction. *Rabbits 1 & 2 were tested in the AP direction, and Rabbit 3 tested in the VD direction. ** no trabecular data for Rabbit 2 was present. ***no trabecular data for Rabbit 3 was present.
