FIG. 7.

(A) Bone mineral content (BMC, mg calcium) determined within the trabecular bone compartment of the proximal Tibia for the naïve, contusion, and transection groups (mean ± standard error of the mean). Statistical analyses (one-way analysis of variance, post-hoc Tukey) indicated a significant difference (* p < 0.05) between the transection and naïve groups as well as a significant difference (⁺⁺ p < 0.01) between the transection and contusion groups. (B) Correlation analyses between the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) and BMC in the naïve and SCI (contusion and transection) groups. Data are presented as X-Y paired, with linear regression (solid line) and 95% confidence limits (dashed lines) of the fit.
