Box plot showing the “bone-screw interface” values after a 4-week loading period of stainless steel and Ti6Al4V screws (median, 25% and 75% percentile).

<p>“Bone-screw interface” rate: stainless steel anterior area (5.28% (0.78–9.39)), stainless steel posterior area (7.43% (5.16–13.56)), Ti6Al4V anterior area (0.69%(0.00–2.00)), Ti6Al4V posterior area (2.66%(0.00–5.32)).</p
