Schematic diagram of the specimens used in this study and the arrangement of the specimens. (A) The implant specimens had a simple geometric form: a cylinder that facilitates biomechanical calculations. (B) The grades 2 and 4 commercially pure titanium implants were installed into rabbit tibiae according to the Latin Square randomization technique. The distance between the centers of the proximal and distal implants was approximately 10 mm. (C) The three-dimensional (3D) bone–implant interfaces were reconstructed via digital image processing. A bone–implant contact surface is shown here. Note that the image of the bone is cut and processed in 30-μm thicknesses.
