Mineral apposition rates (MARs) quantified in the periosteal callus adjacent to the host/graft junctions. Significant increases in mineral deposition were noted for all treatment groups including the +CTL relative to the -CTL (p < 0.001). MAR in callus exposed to LIPUS and/or adjacent to perforated grafts was also significantly greater than MAR in callus adjacent to autograft (p < 0.05).
