Data are shown as the mean ± SD. Values with different superscripts are significantly different (P<0.05). BV/TV%, the relative bone volume; Tb.Th, trabeculae thickness; Tb.Sp, trabecular space; Fx group, the fundectomized group; 2-Ox group, supplemented with 2-Ox after fundectomy; SHO group, the sham operated group.
