Figure 5 Radiological assessment of bone healing in 5 follow-up (FU) radiographs of empty defect (ED) treatment and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste augmentation (NCHA). Healing process determined by (A) fracture border, (B) fracture gap (bridging) and (C) articular surface, with no significant differences.
