approached significanceP = .07so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

25 Fibular head fractures and lateral tibial plateau fractures approached significance, as 3 patients (16.7%) with fibular head fractures developed HO ( P = .07) and 2 (13.3%) with lateral tibial plateau fractures developed HO ( P = .06).

did not reach statistical significanceP = .19not close (p > 0.1)

Other variables that did not reach statistical significance included age ( P = .19), sex ( P = .49), peroneal nerve injury ( P = .77), vascular injury ( P = .09), duration of KSEF ( P = .660), PCL reconstruction ( P = .187), ACL reconstruction (0.135), arthroscopic surgery ( P = .660), open surgery ( P = .111), and time to first surgery ( P = .782).

failed to achieve significanceno p-value reported

With the same statistical methodology, the current findings demonstrated that, of these preliminary variables, only KSEF differed significantly between groups and was independently associated with HO, whereas in the Whelan et al 47 study, it failed to achieve significance after adjusting for covariates.
