Reverse Dynamization Accelerates Regenerate Bone Formation and Remodeling in a Goat Distraction Osteogenesis Model

This article was updated on December 20, 2023, because of previous errors, which were discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. Figure 4 has been replaced with a figure that presents different p values. Also, on page 1943, the text that had read: "Quantitative microCT confirmed that the total volume of the regenerate in the RD group was much smaller compared with the SF (p = 0.06) and DF (p = 0.007) groups, although it was significantly smaller only compared with the DF group (Fig. 4-A). The total volume of the intact bone (contralateral tibia) was significantly smaller in the RD group compared with the other groups, but the RD group had values closest to those for the intact tibia. Similarly, the RD group had less bone volume compared with the SF and DF groups, and this value was significantly different from the DF group (p = 0.034; Fig. 4-B). Of the 3 groups, the RD group had vBMD that was the closest to that of intact bone. It also had significantly higher vBMD compared with the SF and DF groups (p < 0.0001 for both; Fig. 4-C).The results of torsional testing (Fig. 4-D) confirmed that the regenerate bone formed under conditions of RD was significantly stronger than that formed under SF or DF (p < 0.001 versus SF group, and p = 0.0493 versus DF group)."now reads: "Quantitative microCT confirmed that the total volume of the regenerate in the RD group was significantly smaller compared with the SF and DF groups (p < 0.01 for both groups; Fig. 4-A). The total volume of the intact bone (contralateral tibia) was significantly smaller compared with the SF and DF groups (p < 0.0001 for both). The RD group had values closest to those for the intact tibia, and this difference was not significant (Fig. 4-A). Similarly, the RD group had less bone volume compared with the SF and DF groups, and this value was significantly different from the DF group (p < 0.01; Fig. 4-B). Of the 3 groups, the RD group had vBMD that was the closest to that of intact bone, but the intact bone was significantly different compared with all of the other groups (p < 0.0001 for all groups). The RD group had significantly higher vBMD compared with the SF and DF groups (p = 0.042 and p = 0.046, respectively; Fig. 4-C).The results of torsional testing (Fig. 4-D) confirmed that the regenerate bone formed under conditions of RD was significantly stronger than that formed under SF or DF (p < 0.0001 versus SF group, and p = 0.0493 versus DF group).
