Group | Blood Flow (mL/min/100 g) | Capillary Density (%) | Bone Formation Rate (μm3/μm2/yr) | Medullary Canal Inflammation† | Bone Rejection Grade‡ |
1 | 4.58 | 15.0 | 6.4 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
2 | 0.00 | 4.4 | 0.0 | 1.5 | 3.0 |
3 | 0.00 | 8.1 | 24.1 | 3.0 | 3.0 |
4 | 0.44 | 16.6 | 50.3 | 1.0 | 0.0 |
All values are expressed as medians.
0 = no rejection, 1 = mild rejection, 2 = moderate rejection, and 3 = severe rejection on the basis of inflammation.
0 = normal histology, 1 = less than half empty lacunae and decreased peritrabecular osteoblast lining, 2 = more than half empty lacunae and no peritrabecular osteoblast lining, and 3 = severe necrosis with empty lacunae and fragmentation.
