a Representative radiograph showing the method for measuring tibial length (L) and tibial angle (α). b Tibial length change for the control limbs (dashed) and treatment limbs (solid bars) at 4- and 8-weeks post treatment. While there was no difference in tibial length change amongst the control limbs, the gel + 3D print condition had significantly more tibial growth compared to other treatments. Data represent mean ± standard deviation (error bars). *Denotes significant difference in tibial length change of treatment limbs (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001; two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD post hoc). c Tibial angle of control limbs (dashed) was similar, as were the tibial angles of the treatment limbs (solid bars) across groups. Data represent mean ± standard deviation (error bars).
