Fig. 8From: BMSC affinity peptide-functionalized β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds promoting repair of osteonecrosis of the femoral heada Vacant bone lacunae among the trabecular matrix of femoral heads were seen in three groups. b CD + β-TCP-DPI group expressed the lowest vacant bone lacunae percentage compared to CD group (P = 2.350 × 10−4) and CD + β-TCP group (P = 0.020). This result indicated that the therapeutic effect of CD combined with implantation of β-TCP-DPI scaffolds was superior to CD and CD combined with implantation of unmodified β-TCP scaffolds.
