Figure 6From: The effects of high dose and highly fractionated radiation on distraction osteogenesis in the murine mandibleAlcian blue-hematoxylin histological sections of control (left) and irradiated (right) mandibles that underwent distraction osteogenesis. The regions of interest are outlined with dotted lines. Note the incomplete bridging of the distracted sample, in comparison to control. Minor chondrogenesis was observed in control (blue stain); this was not observed in irradiated samples.Back to article page
