We also placed two to three sintered xenografts along the tibia to study host bone - graft and graft - graft interactions. Five weeks after the surgical deployment, a new bone mass in the form of a collar was observed at the interface between each of the grafts and the host bone. A small bridge was also created between each pair of grafts due to their own interactions. The biphasic graft allowed a relatively thick layer of new bone mass to grow when compared to the monophasic graft within the same time after deployment.
