Three-Dimensional Structural Parameters of the Trabecular Bone within the Tibial Proximal Compartment for the Naïve, Contusion, and Transection Groups^*

Group	Age (months)	N (animals)	Avg Tb.Th (μm)	Avg Tb.Sp (μm)	Tb.N (1/mm)
Naïve	6	4	50 ± 0.5	112 ± 2	4 ± 0.1
Contusion	6	7	56 ± 2.0a	133 ± 8a	4 ± 0.2
Transection	6	11	48 ± 0.4b	106 ± 2b	5 ± 0.1

Avg Tb.Th, average trabecular thickness; Avg Tb.Sp, average spacing between trabeculae; Tb.N, trabecular number per millimeter of bone length.

^*mean ± standard error of the mean.

Statistical analyses: ^aindicates p < 0.05 compared with naïve; ^bindicates p < 0.05 compared with contusion group.
