Fig. 2

Torsional and longitudinal energy use in different phaco tip groups. a In the soft nucleus subgroup, different types of energy use were less common in the balanced tip group than in the Kelman group, without statistical significance. b In the hard nucleus subgroup, different types of energy use were significantly higher than those in the soft nucleus subgroup and lower in the balanced tip group than those in the Kelman group (* p < 0.05). CDE: cumulative dissipated energy; CTE: cumulated torsional energy; CLE: cumulated longitudinal energy
