Micro-CT-Analysis. Morphometric analysis of trabecular bone using micro-CT scanning and 3D-reconstruction. Biopsies were taken from the iliac crest before (0 months) and after (6 months) surgery. A: bone volume (BV/TV), B: bone surface (BS/BV), C: trabecular number (Tb.N), D: trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), E: trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), F: structural model index (SMI). Boxplots show the median, interquartile range and outliers (circle) of the variables. Differences between time points: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. Differences between groups compared to control: ‡ p < 0.05, ‡‡ p < 0.01.
