Figure 2

Bone volume fraction and average tissue mineral density for four locations from the entire core. (a) Bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and (b) average tissue mineral density (TMD) for the entire core for each of the four locations. HA, hydroxyapatite. Each bar represents the mean, and error bars represent one standard deviation. *Significant differences between groups (P < 0.05). Cores from the lesion area exhibited the highest volume fraction but lowest mineral density. (c) Longitudinal cut-away views of cores from each of the four locations. Each row contains cores from one donor.
