Bacteria colony forming units in bone comparing the bone with an implanted K-wire and the bone with a sham surgery after post-surgical inoculation of 107 CFU S. aureus CFU(log10)/g bone tissue. Comparing animals with infection (≥103 CFU) to animals without infection, there is a statistical difference between the implanted limb and the sham limb at 14 and 42 days. Fisher’s exact p < 0.05
