Fig. 5: The chip promotes bone formation in rabbit critical-sized femoral defects.
From: Self-reinforced piezoelectric chip for scaffold-free repair of critical-sized bone defects
Photos of the chip on the Ti6Al4V plate (a, b) and the implantation of the chip (c). The chip is highlighted by the red arrow. Representative 2D X-ray images (d) and 3D reconstruction images (e) of bone defect in the control, film, and chip groups at 4 weeks post-operation. f Quantitative analysis of BV, BV/TV, Tb. N and Tb. Sp derived for panel (e). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 biological replicates). Two-sided ANOVA with a Tukey’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
