Study design. Schematic flowchart drawing illustrates the study design and the preparation of the bone samples. After in vivo μCT scanning at four time points, 42 tibias were harvested from 21 rats. The proximal ends of each tibia containing the defect site were decalcified and embedded in paraffin for histomorphometric analyses.
