Radiographic control of the ostectomy gap in Rabbit 4. Callus formation was evaluated post operatively with radiographic pictures (medial-lateral view); the ostectomy gap is shown immediately post operatively (a), 13 (b), 20 (c), 27 (d) and 42 days post operatively. Radiopaque structures in the ostectomy gap were first detected 20 days post operatively and increased until day 42
