Overview microphotographs of the ostectomy site and graph showing the incidence of cortical bridging of the empty defect group (non-infected vs infected). (A, a-b) non-infected animals (n = 6); (B, g-k) infected animals (n = 5). Note the bony bridging via (CIS and/or TRANS) cortex in sections marked by asterisk. Blue arrows indicate new bone in the medullary area. Yellow and green boxes shown cartilaginous tissue. Graph showing the percentage of animals with CIS and TRANS cortical bridging in the non-infected and infected groups. Scale bar a-k 2 mm
