H&E staining on the sectioned slices at 12 weeks postoperatively. (a) There was new bone regeneration (Bone) in nHACM+BMMSC and nHACM/B9+BMMSC groups. Some fragments of nHACM were not completely biodegradable (nHACM). (b) New bone volumes of nHACM+BMMSC and nHACM/B9+BMMSC groups were much higher than the control group. There was connective tissue (CT) in the control group. Mean±SD; n=3; p<0.05, p<0.01, and p<0.001.
