Histology and histomorphometric analysis of the polished and microroughened PEEK/n-HA/CF biocomposite implants.

Notes: (A) Histotomy of bone contact immunostained by toluidine blue–fuchsine staining at 8 weeks with low and high magnification. The pink area represents the newly-formed bone, and dark black area represents the implants. (B) Fluorochrome labeling and quantitative determination with calcein and tetracycline show the greater new bone formation on the surface of the microroughened CFRPEEK-based biocomposite. *P<0.05 compared to the control.

Abbreviations: PEEK/n-HA/CF, carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone–nanohydroxyapatite; CFRPEEK, carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone.
