Fig. 6From: An in vivo study to investigate an original intramedullary bone graft harvesting technologyBoxplots of BG inflammatory cytokine amount by harvesting method. In the BG hard tissue components A and aqueous BG components B, a similar tendency toward higher inflammatory cytokine amounts was observed for the ARA group, which includes both the aspirator prototype and the R–A method, compared to the BG harvest obtained with the RIA 2 system. Please note that if less than eight dots per group are shown, missing measurements were above the detection rangeBack to article page
