µCT analysis of S1/100 scaffold in situ. Left: Bone surrounding the surgical site was harvested and subjected to µCT analysis. Results shown are from representative rabbits from each experimental group, with the specific experimental group indicated below each panel. Analysis is based on results observed after 84 days. Right: The amount of scaffold remaining at the surgical site was calculated by comparison to control scaffolds prior to implantation. Results shown are the average ± the standard error of the mean for each experimental group. Asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference by comparison to the uninfected control group that obtained PBS-saturated scaffold (Group 3).
