MicroCT analysis. BVF and BMD were assessed using micro-CT. a Representative images of the femoral head for each treatment group are shown. b Within the CD area, no significant differences were observed between treatment groups. c Outside of the CD area, the PGK-PDGF-BB-MSC group demonstrated a trend towards greater BMD than the CD group (P = 0.07). No differences were noted between treatment groups with regards to BVF.
