Table 2 Intra-operative characteristics comparing freehand and guided surgery K-wire placement compared to the pre-operative plan

Intra-operative Characteristics	Direction	Freehand Mean ± STD	Guided Mean ± STD	p value
Duration (minutes)		4.1 ± 2.0	1.5 ± 0.7	< 0.001
Number of X-rays	Antero-posterior	10 ± 3	2 ± 1	< 0.001
	Medio-lateral	4 ± 3	1 ± 1	< 0.001
	Pooled	14 ± 5	3 ± 1	< 0.001

Statistically significant p values (p < 0.05) are in bold. Pooled data include values reported for both views. Compared to freehand surgeries, guided surgeries were significantly faster and required less numbers of intra-operative x-rays
