Characterization of an Ovine Bilateral Critical Sized Bone Defect Iliac Wing Model to Examine Treatment Modalities Based on Bone Tissue Engineering
Figure 6
Fluorochrome images of positive control defect (a) showing the widespread new bone growing into the defect and negative control defect (b) showing that the fluorochromes are confined to the edges with minimal bone growth after 3 weeks. Fluorochromes were given at three weeks (calcein green), at six weeks (xylenol orange), and at nine weeks after surgery (oxytetracycline).
