Figure 6
From: Osteoinductive 3D printed scaffold healed 5 cm segmental bone defects in the ovine metatarsus
The surgical procedure included a 5 cm ostectomy repaired with an intramedullary nail. The ostectomy gap was filled with either the scaffold and a collagen sponge soaked with rhBMP-2, or a collagen sponge soaked with rhBMP-2 only (control group). Radiographs are shown at the time of surgery for the control (A) and scaffold (B) groups, and images of the open surgical site are shown for control (C) and scaffold (D) groups. Radiographs were taken using Smart DR system (Sound Imaging, Carlsbad, CA, https://soundvet.com/).
