The representative micro-CT images after 12 weeks of the operated vertebra. PMMA (upper image) is compacted in the hole, but no bone formation was observed; a radiolucent area is seen between the PMMA and the bone. The pCPC (middle image) is slowly resorbed, and new bone is formed in connection with the pCPC (arrow). There was some bone formation around the bone chips, however considerable radiolucent areas can also be observed.
