Figure 4.
Three dimensional μCT analysis of skeletal components. The images of the ipsilateral distal femur (panels A, B, C) and L4 vertebra (panels D, E, F) illustrate changes in the trabecular bone compartment at 4 weeks after tibia fracture. Scans A and D are from a control rat, B and E are from a fracture rat, and C and F are from a fracture rat treated with PTX. There was marked trabecular bone loss after tibia fracture. Overall, PTX treatment had little effect on trabecular bone loss. The white bar represents 1 mm.
