Repair of Segmental Load-Bearing Bone Defect by Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Plasma-Derived Fibrin Impregnated Ceramic Block Results in Early Recovery of Limb Function

Figure 4

Gross appearance of postimplanted experimental tibia compared with contralateral controls. All groups maintained equal length between test and contralateral tibiae. TEB showed good continuity of cortices along the bone-implant-bone interphases. Implant material for ALLO and MIC groups are still visible. Lt: implanted left tibia; Rt: normal right tibia.
