New bone formation induced by bone callus in nude mice assessed by micro-CT.
Images showing three-dimensional reconstructions of regions of interest (3 mm × 3 mm × 3 mm each) in implants at 8 (a1–a4) and 12 (b1–b4) weeks after implantation; the ΔBV/TV (c1), ΔTb.N (c2), ΔTb.Th (c3), and ΔTb.Sp (c4) values between the parameters at 8 or 12 weeks post-implantation and these parameters before implantation; *P < 0.05 versus the CI group using one-way analysis of variance and LSD test post hoc.
