Comprehensive Review of Adipose Stem Cells and Their Implication in Distraction Osteogenesis and Bone Regeneration

Figure 3

Histological changes using trichrome staining, in a rabbit DO model during distraction osteogenesis of the tibia. (a) to (c) represent the cellular change that happen during the distraction phase while (d) to (f) represent the cellular change that happen during the consolidation phase. Co: cortex; LZ: lengthened zone; Ca: callus; FIZ: fibrous interzone (bar scale = 2 mm).
