Fig. 7From: Variable fixation promotes callus formation: an experimental study on transverse tibial osteotomies stabilized with locking platesAmount of callus detected at the trans and cis-cortex in samples treated either with rigid fixation (LS) or different magnitudes of variable fixation (VFLS3 and VFLS6) in a 3 mm gap. At 9 weeks, a significant difference between cis and trans-cortex callus was found in the LS group but not in the VFLS3 and VFLS6 groupsBack to article page
