Micro-CT analyses of new bone formation after 8 weeks of surgery. (A) micro-CT images of rabbit radius after 8 weeks of surgery. (B) Bone volume analysis (***p < 0.001, versus every other group), (C) Bone mineral density (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus the indicated group), (D) Porosity of newly-formed bone in the defected areas (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 versus the indicated group). The bone defects in control group were kept empty.
