Figure 1. MicroCT analysis of fracture calluses and ACL ruptured joints.

Figure 1

(A) Three-dimensional μCT renderings of fracture calluses (left) and osteophytes (right). Callus and osteophyte volume depicted in dark grey, native bone in light grey. (B) Osteophyte and fracture callus volume at days 14, 21, and 28 after injury. Mineralized fracture callus volume remained statistically similar at each time point, while osteophyte volume increased over time (p<0.0001). A significant interaction between time point and injury type indicated differences in trajectory for fracture callus and osteophyte growth (p=0.0375). (C) Osteophyte and fracture callus bone tissue mineral density (TMD) at days 14, 21, and 28 after injury. Fracture callus TMD increased significantly over time, while osteophyte TMD did not change (p=0.0017). Time points that do not share a letter are significantly different from each other (p<0.05). Data is presented as mean ± SD.
