ADM2 administration accelerates bone consolidation during distraction osteogenesis in rats. (A) Mechanical properties, including E-modulus, ultimate load, and energy to failure of distraction regenerates in control (n = 6) and ADM2 (n = 6) groups. The values were normalized to the corresponding contralateral normal tibias. (B) Representative X-rays of distraction regenerates at various time points. (C,D) Representative 3D and longitudinal images (C) and quantitative analysis (D) of micro-CT data, including bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), of the tibial distraction area after 2 (n = 6) and 4 (n = 6) weeks of consolidation and treatment. The data were confirmed by Student’s t-test between control group and ADM2 group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
