Characterization of an Ovine Bilateral Critical Sized Bone Defect Iliac Wing Model to Examine Treatment Modalities Based on Bone Tissue Engineering
Figure 4
Photomicrograph of a positive control defect (a) and negative control defect (b) within the ROI (white circle). New bone growth into the positive control defect was widespread, while new bone growth into the empty defect occurred restricted to the edge of the defect. Dense connective tissue was the major tissue in the empty defect (*). The sections were stained with Giemsa-eosin.
