  • Data connected with the same letter are significantly different (p < 0.05). Roman letters refer to 6 week results, while Greek letters refer to 12 week results.

  • * = p < 0.05 within time-point factor. TPS = titanium plasma spray, AM = additive manufactured, AM+HA = additive manufactured with hydroxyapatite, AM+Auto = additive manufactured with autograft, BIC = bone-in-contact, BA = bone area.
