Quality and quantity of regenerated bone tissue on Sr-Zn-augmented titanium surfaces in the OVX rat model. (A) The scheme of animal operation: the 12-week-old rat femoral model was constructed by ovariectomy, and at 20 weeks old, the implant surgery was conducted. At 2 and 6 weeks after implant surgery, the fluorescent labeling was injected. The bone tissue and samples were harvested at 28 weeks old. (B-E) Reconstructed 3D models of surrounding bones in micro-CT with inserted implants of longitudinal section with (B) or without implant (C) and of transverse section with (D) or without implant (E). Quantitative analysis includes (F) BV/TV and (G) Tb. Th. (H) Peak load of the samples compared with the TiO2 group.
