In vivo bone reconstruction of n-HA/Res/CS composite microspheres. (a) Micro-CT images of different groups at 6 weeks, and the blue dashed-line circles indicate the original defect areas. (b) Micro-CT parameters of bone regeneration within femur defects. BMD: Bone mineral density; BV/TV: Bone volume/total volume; Conn.D: Connection density; Tb_·Th: Trabecular thickness; Tb.Sp: Trabecular separation; Tb_·N: Trabecular number. Error bars represent standard deviation from the mean (n = 3) (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05).
