Background:

Characterizing tissue mineralization in bone regeneration is complex due to diverse analytical methods.
A standardized workflow is needed to improve the reliability and comparability of bone regeneration studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and validate a comprehensive workflow for evaluating new bone formation in an ex vivo large animal model.
To assess the quality and structure of newly mineralized tissue using a multimodal analytical approach.

Main Methods:

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) with deep learning for 3D imaging and mineralized tissue discrimination.
Nano-indentation for mechanical property assessment of newly formed bone.
Histological staining (HES, Goldner's, Movat's) for qualitative evaluation of mineralized tissue and cellular presence.
Back-scattering scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for quantitative mineralization and interface analysis.
Raman spectroscopy for molecular composition and growth factor persistence analysis.

Main Results:

The proposed workflow successfully characterizes newly formed bone in a sheep femoral head explant model.
Multimodal analysis provides comprehensive qualitative and quantitative insights into mineralized tissue structure, composition, and mechanical properties.
The workflow allows for detailed assessment of the bone-biomaterial interface and the presence of the osteoid barrier.

Conclusions:

This standardized multimodal workflow offers an effective method for assessing bone regeneration and tissue mineralization.
The approach facilitates interstudy comparisons, enhancing the validity and reliability of research findings in bone regeneration.
The workflow provides deep insights into the quality and structure of newly formed bone, crucial for developing effective bone substitutes.
