FIG. 4.

Radial distribution of morphometric parameters measured by μCT at 6 and 12 weeks. Values of each parameter are compared to those measured for host trabecular bone (dotted line) and the BC controls (0 weeks, dashed line). (A) Representative image highlighting subdivision of the defect into four annular shells each 1-mm thick. Morphometric parameters are plotted versus the mean radial distance Rm [Rm=(Ro+Ri)/2] of each annular region from the center of the defect. Solid lines delimit regions inside the material, while the dashed line delimits the region near the host bone-composite interface. (B) Tissue mineral density (TMD). (C) Bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) at 6 weeks. (D) BV/TV at 12 weeks. (E) Connectivity density (Conn.D.). (F) Trabecular number (Tb.N.). (G) Trabecular thickness (Tb.Th.). (H) Trabecular separation (Tb.Sp).
