a Bacteria colony forming units within the bone. CFU(log10)/g bone tissue and (b) Bacteria colony forming units on the K-wire. CFU(log10)/mm2 surface area of K-wire. One-way ANOVA performed amongst each inoculum over each time point. Day 3 bone had statistical difference between 104- 106 and 108 & 109. 107 was different than 109 within the bone. Within the wire samples. 108 and 109 groups were significantly greater than the rest of the groups at day 3. There was no difference in the bone or wire at day 7 or 14
