Micro-CT and histomorphometric results for pBCP group. a 2D-Micro-CT view: the images show larger and regular pBCP particles (blue arrow) surrounded by new bone (yellow arrow) at 30 days. Between 30 and 180 days, the spaces were filled by bone. b Histologic view: at 30 days, the presence of large biomaterial (pBCP) particles (area surrounded by black dotted line) with bone (yellow arrow) formation occurring both on the surface and inside of the small pores and concavities of the particles, and connective tissue (CT) filling the remaining areas. At 60 days, the bone marrow (BM) gradually invaded the spaces between the particles, replacing the connective tissue and being more evident at 180 days. HE; 10×, c) Percentage of each constituent: graphs of evolution of M% (C1), CT% (C2), NB% (C3), and BM% (C4) in MSA of pBCP/clot and pBCP/PRP. Different letters p < 0.05 among periods per group
