Figure 6. Medio-lateral bone growth was associated with scaffold failure.

Representative images of two zygomas demonstrated medio-lateral growth of native bone from the caudo-ventral aspect (yellow arrowheads) of the defect boundary initiates around 3 months timepoint. The growth became prominent around 5–6 months and pushed the scaffolds (red and yellow indicate left and right zygoma, respectively) out of the defect sites. C: Caudal; R: Rostral; L: Lateral; M: Medial. Scale bar = 2 cm.
