Progression of new bone formation at 3 months post-implantation of V-CBA. A trichrome-stained section of the femoral explant taken 3 months after V-CBA implantation demonstrates the progression of new bone formation. Collagen fibers (&) are seen gradually organizing to consolidate into pre-mineralized bone matrix ($) and encapsulating osteocytes within lacunae (yellow arrows). Magnification 10×
