Bone-Healing Capacity of PCL/PLGA/Duck Beak Scaffold in Critical Bone Defects in a Rabbit Model

Figure 8

Histological findings of newly formed bone (S: scaffold, N: new bone) in the PCL/PLGA, PCL/PLGA/TCP, and PCL/PLGA/duck beak scaffold groups 12 weeks after surgery. The results revealed advanced progression of new bone formation and mineralization in the PCL/PLGA/duck beak scaffold group compared to the PCL/PLGA and PCL/PLGA/TCP groups. No inflammatory cells noted in any groups.
