Utilizing Autologous Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and -Tricalcium Phosphate Scaffold in Human Bone Defects: A Prospective, Controlled Feasibility Trial

Figure 3

(a) The progress of resorption of the graft material over time. The rate of resorption is expressed as the median percentage of the initial filling visible on the postoperative radiograph. No significant difference was observed between both groups of patients. (b) The box plot graph showing resorption of the graft material in the control group. (c) The box plot graph showing resorption of the graft material in the trial group. The bottom and top of the box are the first and third quartiles, and the band inside the box is the median. The ends of the whiskers represent the minimum and maximum.
