Fig. 4From: Effects of a locally administered risedronate/autogenous bone graft combination on bone healing in a critical-size rabbit defect modelA New bone, bone graft, and soft tissue area measured by histomorphometry at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery for calvarial bone defects in a rabbit model. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. (C group, autogenous bone grafting only; RIS group, risedronate with autogenous bone grafting; *, significantly different from values obtained 8 weeks after surgery; a, b, significantly different from values obtained in the other group, black line indicate the standard deviation.) B Comparison of h score values obtained from the immunohistochemical staining at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (C group, autogenous bone grafting only; RIS group, risedronate with autogenous bone grafting; *, significantly different from values obtained 8 weeks after surgery; black line indicates the standard deviation)Back to article page
