TABLE 4.
Intraoperative Storage of Autograft—Posterolateral Fusion Rates (Unilateral)
| Autograft Condition | Fusion by MP; N/n (%) | Fusion by Radiography; N/n (%) | Fusion by μCT; N/n (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anesthesia control | 11/16 (69)‡ | 14/16 (88) | 11/16 (69)‡ |
| Dried | 0/16 (0) | 9/16 (56) | 0/16 (0) |
| Hydrated | 14/16 (88)‡ | 16/16 (100)† | 15/16 (94)‡ |
Statistical significance versus dried autograft denoted by:
P < 0.01.
P < 0.001.
μCT indicates microcomputed tomography; MP, manual palpation.
