Figure 5From: Strontium enhances osseointegration of calcium phosphate cement: a histomorphometric pilot study in ovariectomized ratsCircumferential contact index. Circumferential contact index for calcium phosphate cement (CPC) and strontium-containing calcium phosphate cement (SPC) at 1, 3, and 6 months after implantation. Three months after implantation, the circumferential contact index is significantly higher for SPC as compared to CPC (p = 0.009, as indicated by double asterisk) (mean values ± standard error, using two-sided Mann-Whitney U test for comparison between CPC and SPC at equal points in time with significance level at p < 0.05).Back to article page
