The mean area of bony tissue growing on the muscle-contact surface of the homologous and transformative porous scaffold were 3.67 ± 2.08 and 4 ± 3.46 pores at 4 weeks (p>0.05); 13.33 ± 1.52 and 14.33 ± 1.15 pores at 8 weeks (p>0.05); 15.33 ± 3.05 and 17.67 ± 6.42 pores at 12 weeks (p>0.05); whereas the transfomative porous scaffold produced a more even surface coating.
