Mechanical properties of repaired segmental defects. (A) Maximum torque is not significantly different despite differences in bone volume. (B) Bone volume correlates with maximum torque (p < 0.05). Samples were ranked by their extent of defect bridging (see C), and samples with higher bridging scores are shifted to the upper right of the correlation graph. (C) Criteria for bridging scores assigned to each sample, and representative X-ray images of samples from each bridging score category. (D) GFOGER-coated scaffolds display a greater number of fully bridged defects than uncoated scaffolds (p < 0.05).
