Radiological and biomechanical analysis of the osteointegration after 56 days. A) The femora with the gentamicin K-wire showed a significantly lower score compared to CTRL (p = 0.0145). The maximum score possible is 15 points, which shows impaired osteointegration. B) The force needed to push the wire out of the femur was significantly higher in the Porous and Genta groups compared to CTRL (CTRL to Porous: p = 0.0153, CTRL to Genta: p = 0.0007). C) Representative x-ray on day 0 and day 56 from the same animal of the Porous group.
