The p -values for all pairwise comparisons were above 0.05, although the difference between the moderate and severe bowing groups approached significance ( p = 0.068).
The p -values for all pairwise comparisons were above 0.05, although the difference between the moderate and severe bowing groups approached significance ( p = 0.068).
For further analysis, the ANOVA test indicated a trend towards significance (F = 2.41, p = 0.069), suggesting that there might be differences in bisphosphonate treatment duration between the groups.
However, this did not reach statistical significance at the 5% level.
Our further exploratory analysis showed a trend towards a dose-dependent relationship between the severity of femoral bowing and the duration of bisphosphonate use, although this did not reach statistical significance.
