Figure 9

Quantitative analysis of BMD and BAF based on a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry system. (a) The local BMD after implantation for 4 and 12 weeks; (b) the BAF for 1 day, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. represents significant differences between Mg/CSH composite specimens and pure CSH (). The bars on the graphs are standard deviations. BMD: bone mineral density; BAF: new bone area fraction; Mg: magnesium; CSH: calcium sulfate hemihydrate.
