Radiographs of two rabbit tibiae four weeks post operation. (A) Medio-lateral projection of a rabbit tibia with an implanted MgCa0.8 screw. (B) Magnification corresponding to the white rectangle in (A). (C) Cranio-caudal projection of the same tibia. New bone (white arrows) and accumulation of gas (white triangles) are clearly observable at the implantation site of MgCa0.8. (D) Medio-lateral projection of a rabbit tibia with an implanted S316L screw. (E) Magnification corresponding to the white rectangle in (D). (E) Cranio-caudal projection of the same tibia. At the implantation site of S316L only new bone (white arrows) is detectable.
