Comparison of the BMD values of the right tibia that had a segmental defect and the implant

Timepoint	Group	Average	SD
Before ovariectomy	SO-CONTROL	0.2763^a	0.02
	SO-BMP	0.2711	0.01
	OVX-CONTROL	0.2721	0.02
	OVX-BMP	0.2795	0.02
At the time of bone surgery (12 weeks after ovariectomy)	SO-CONTROL	0.2975^b	0.02
	SO-BMP	0.2700^c	0.01
	OVX-CONTROL	0.2675^d	0.08
	OVX-BMP	0.2638^e	0.01
At termination (8 weeks after bone surgery)	SO-CONTROL	0.3039^f	0.01
	SO-BMP	0.3064^g	0.01
	OVX-CONTROL	0.2650^h	0.01
	OVX-BMP	0.2796ⁱ	0.01

Statistical significant differences: ^a–j p = 0.006; ^b–c,d,e p ≤ 0.02; ^f,g–h,i p ≤ 0.001.

SD = standard deviation.
