IL-8 transcription in muscle tissue after monotrauma. The transcription levels of IL-8 show significantly increased ΔΔCt values at 24 and 48 h after trauma induction for monotrauma when using the intramedullary nail as compared to the external fixator (p < 0.05). At the time points 2 and 72 h, no significant transcriptional differences are evident between the treatment groups and compared to the sham group. Peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA) was chosen as the reference gene
