Figure 4 Comparison of pin placement time, fluoroscopic exposure times, and range of motion (ROM). (A, B) Scatter diagram: A scatter plot comparing pin placement time (A) and fluoroscopic exposure times (B) between the guide template and free-hand groups. Each data point represents a patient in the respective group. (C) Bar graph: A bar graph comparing the ROM between the 2 groups after surgery, showing no significant difference in elbow flexion-extension after the procedure. (**** P<0.0001). GraphPad Prism v10.0.0.3 (Insightful Science) was used for creation of the figure.
