Schematic of device placement, device geometry, and test plan, highlighting how the implant was sectioned for postmortem evaluations, with the “A” section taken from the most closed section and the “B” section taken from the most open section of the additive manufactured (AM) device (A). The red dashed line indicates where the implant was bisected. Note: the solid titanium plasma spray-coated (TPS) implants were placed and processed in the same respective locations. Representative anteroposterior radiographic images at necropsy of TPS (B) and AM (C) implants. Representative lateral radiographic image at necropsy of both implant types (D).
