The Potential Therapeutic Effects of Platelet-Derived Biomaterials on Osteoporosis: A Comprehensive Review of Current Evidence

Figure 5

(a–c) Temporal micro-CT analysis of bone healing. Representative 2D (a) and 3D (b) images were generated by micro-CT, showing the bone healing process after drill-hole surgery. Scale bar, 1 mm. (c) Trabecular bone volumes of proximal tibial growth plates were assessed by a micro-CT scan. Scale bar, 1 mm. (d) Histological analysis of bone healing progression (stained with H & E). Representative photomicrographs of callus sections from all groups demonstrate bone healing after drill-hole surgery. Arrows indicate cortical gaps. Reproduced from [59].
