(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean heart rate of all people with this untreated condition.
When compared to medial column arthrodesis, the Cotton osteotomy has shown to be superior in multiple facets. In all 5 papers reviewed, all studies reported no nonunions using the Cotton. Only Boffeli et al. reported a single case of delayed union that was treated with a bone stimulator, which resolved at 6 months. Nonunion rates in midfoot arthrodesis procedures has been reported to be as high as 20%, strongly supporting the use of the Cotton.2 All papers reviewed supported the effectiveness of the Cotton as an adjunctive procedure in flatfoot surgery.

And even with that limitation an average time of only 38 seconds for an intubation procedure using a Glidescope. In 2005, the first major clinical study comparing a regular laryngoscope and the Glidescope was done.
