“…No statistically significant difference was seen in the total cost between the AS and MS groups (9698.8, range 7426.5 to 13,485.6; and 10,347.2, range 82 21.5 to 13,169.2 renminbi, respectively; p ¼ .47). Five studies (11,15,16,18,21) compared the fracture healing time between the 2 groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (mean difference À1.88, 95% CI À3.51 to À0.26, I 2 ¼ 93%, p ¼ .02; Fig. 10).…”
