Mean displacement (mm) during cyclic loading for each group. Displacement represents the relative movement of the fixation construct under repetitive loading, which may indicate its stability. A smaller displacement suggests better fixation strength and resistance to loosening.

Intervals Mean displacement in mm
Group A (n = 10) Group B (n = 10) Group C (n = 10) P-value
10–100 cycles −0.01 ± 0.04 −0.02 ± 0.04 −0.13 ± 0.15 0.021
100–500 cycles 0.00 ± 0.06 −0.02 ± 0.08 −0.02 ± 0.04 0.613
500–1000 cycles 0.02 ± 0.03 0.01 ± 0.04 −0.00 ± 0.02 0.357
1000–1500 cycles −0.01 ± 0.05 0.02 ± 0.04 0.00 ± 0.01 0.318
1500–2000 cycles −0.03 ± 0.04 −0.01 ± 0.02 −0.02 ± 0.01 0.154
