Figure 1
Exterior (a), transverse thin sections (b, d, f, h) and virtual-histological sections (c, e, g, i) of FPDM-V-10580 in anterior (a) and proximal (b)–(i) views. Arrowheads in (a) indicate the level at which each thin section was obtained. Rectangles in (b) and (c) indicate areas magnified in (d)–(i). Black arrowheads in (d)–(i) indicate lines of arrested growth. White arrowheads in (d)–(g) indicate reticular canals, whereas those in (h) and (i) indicate radial canals. Thin-section images and corresponding virtual-histological images are on the same scale. Abbreviations: at, avascular tissue; so, secondary osteon. Scale bars are equal to 30 mm for (a), 1 mm for (b), and 0.5 mm for (d), (f) and (h). |
