Figure 1

Dorso-palmar radiograph of the metacarpus of one sheep (A5) after surgery (T1): selection of an area of 10500 pixels (70 × 150 h), indicated by the red dotted line, over the medial and lateral cortices, at the drill site (MCDS, LCDS) and on the adjacent normal bone (NMC, NLC), to be processed by graphic software (Corel Photo-Paint, CorelDraw) to obtain the histogram for each site. The LCDS/NLC and MCDS/NMC ratios were calculated to evaluate bone healing at different times.
