A high number of empty osteocyte lacunae were still present and, fibrous tissue was more present than in the samples taken previously. Newly-formed bone was surrounded by non-vital bone with empty osteocyte lacunae in way of resorption
Lamellar arrangement around Haversian canals interspersed with osteocytes in lacunae. No evidence of inflammatory infiltrate. The central portions revealed osteocytes with higher number of empty lacunae
Newly formed bone with osteocytes observed in all the timepoints. Osteocyte presence was higher at 4 months. Vessels were also detected abundantly in the samples
Osteocyte lacunae mostly empty. Newly formed bone contained viable osteocytes. Bone forming osteoblasts and fluorescent labeling detected. Dense connective tissue with the presence of inflammatory cells (WM score = 1.67) and eroded areas

Osteocyte lacunae mostly empty. Newly formed bone contained viable osteocytes. Bone forming osteoblasts and fluorescent labeling detected. WM inflammatory score = 1
Large segments of necrotic bone with empty osteocytes lacunae and little osteoclastic activity. Blood vessels were invading the Haversian canals of the material. No direct contact was found between remodeled and grafted bone. Some osteoclastic activity surrounded by connective tissue with no presence of inflammatory cells by newly formed bone failed to invade the graft.

Small areas of necrotic bone with abundant presence of osteocytes. Inexistent difference between the grafted and the host bone
