FIG. 13.

Images (A) femur condyle region of (a) Φ 5 × 5 mm² defect; (b) implanted with control material (PLGA–MBG–MoS₂); and (c) implanted with treated material (PLGA–MBG–MoS₂–Sim). (B) X-ray analysis from right and left femur condyle region of rabbits. The yellow spots indicated the location of the defect and implanted material on the condyle femur defect. R depicts the right hind limbs, where the PLGA–MBG–MoS₂–Sim composites were implanted. The PLGA–MBG–MoS₂ was implanted in the left hind limb, as the letter L shows. The regeneration abilities were noted at various intervals throughout (a) fourth week, (b) eighth week, and (c) twelfth week.
