Figure 4

Mechanical properties of bones. (A) Torque to failure and (B) stiffness of femora treated with autologous bone grafts and BMP-2 activated muscle grafts 8 weeks after surgery. Values given represent means ± SD; (autologous bone grafts, n = 6; BMP-2 activated muscle grafts, n = 6). No statistically significant difference in torque to failure (p = 0.87) or stiffness of femora receiving autologous bone grafts versus BMP-2 activated muscle grafts could be determined (p = 0.42).
