Fig. 16From: The influence of storage and heat treatment on a magnesium-based implant material: an in vitro and in vivo studyDevelopment of the mean bone density evaluated by in vivo µCT (XtremeCT). Over the 48 weeks implantation period, density decreased in general in the first 24 weeks in every storage group in comparison to initial values. In the second half of the investigation period the mean density increased individually in the different groupsBack to article page
