(A–C) HE stained specimen: Higher magnification from the cage middle and surface area. The lamellar bone has a mature, vivid appearance without any fibrous tissue intervening between the titanium and the bone. Healthy bone marrow can be observed throughout the scaffold. (D–F) HE stained specimen: Higher magnification from the posterior 1/3th of the cage. Dense collagen fibers are directed in a cranial to caudal trajectory, attaching to the titanium struts.
