Figure 6

H&E and Masson’s trichrome staining analysis of bone defects treated with DIM at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery. (a, b) Coronal images of bone defects in DIM implantation and the control group after 4 weeks. (c, d) Coronal images of bone defects in the DIM implantation group and the control group after 8 weeks. (e, f) Coronal images of bone defects in the DIM implantation group and the control group after 12 weeks. DIM represents the residual material embedded in new bone. NB represents the newly formed bone.
