Results
All 20 (100%) patients were able to be assessed and included in statistical analysis. Each of the measurements were analysed by gender to calculate mean and standard deviation.
A Levene’s test was performed and revealed that the variances between the male and female cohorts were not statistically significant. The coronal plane angle, how medially the pin is to be angled, was the only statistically different parameter between groups (female 30.13 vs male 24.91, P = 0.034). The difference between the remaining parameters (female vs male) were not statistically significant.
The mean ‘safe zone’ for the female cohort was 69.43±7.59mm from the ASIS, aiming 30.13±4.07 degrees medially, 10.28±6.55 degrees posteriorly and drilling to a depth of 77.6±5.42mm. The mean ‘safe zone’ for the male cohort was 72.9±6.26mm from the ASIS, aiming 24.91±5.93 degrees medially, 9.47±4.96 degrees posteriorly and drilling to a depth of 82.1±5.76mm.
