Micro-CT analysis of distal femur after 60 days of implantation. 3D reconstructed image and respective orthogonal slices of micro-CT acquisition of the femur with Sr-hybrid filled defect (A). Morphometric analysis approach used to quantify new bone formation: transversal micro-CT slice of a femur injected with Sr-hybrid after 60 days of implantation highlighting ROI (B). (C) New bone formed (BV/TV, %) after 60 days of implantation of Sr-hybrid and Ca-hybrid materials. Data presented as box-plot with median and min to max whiskers of n = 5 samples (n.s. – statistically non-significant).
