Scoresheet for the semi-quantitative evaluation of the in-vivo Micro-Computed Tomography (µCT) (Xtreme CT II) scans.

Parameter	Score 0	Score 1	Score 2
Scaffold position	Scaffold completely inside the cancellous condyle	Scaffold mostly (>50%) in the cancellous condyle, partially in the medullary cavity	Scaffold partially in the cancellous condyle, mostly (>50%) in the medullary cavity
Scaffold demarcability	Scaffold cannot be separated from surrounding bone tissue	Scaffold partially separable from surrounding bone tissue	Scaffold can be completely separated from surrounding bone tissue
Scaffold degradation	Scaffold size	Scaffold size	Scaffold size
	h ≤ 2.5 mm	2.5 mm < h < 4.5 mm	h ≥ 4.5 mm
	∅ ≤ 2 mm	2 mm < ∅ < 3.5 mm	∅ ≥ 3.5 mm
Scaffold-bone-contact	Broad contact area between scaffold and surrounding bone, numerous trabeculae grown onto the scaffold, no gap visible	Several bone trabeculae between scaffold and surrounding bone, hardly visible gap	No contact between scaffold and surrounding bone, clear gap between bone and scaffold
