a trend towards significanceP =0.058
The lateral triangular rod reported statistically significant reductions in flexion-extension ( P =0.045), and a trend towards significance in axial rotation ( P =0.058) and lateral bending ( P =0.083). 52 The reductions in the flexion-extension ROM of both the posterior cage ( P =0.027) and the lateral triangular rod ( P =0.049) groups were statistically larger than that of the posterolateral threaded implant and equivalent in both axial rotation ( P >0.158), and lateral bending ( P >0.085).
