Immediately after harvesting the biopsies for bacteriology, we placed the infected legs containing the titanium plate and surrounding soft tissue in 70% methanol. Contact radiographs were taken using a cabinet X-ray system (Model No. 43855A, Faxitron X-Ray Corp) and high-resolution technical films (D4 Structurix DW ETE, Agfa). After fixation, samples were subjected to a dehydration process through ascending concentrations of ethanol and transferred to xylene before being embedded in methyl methacrylate (Sigma-Aldrich). Once cured, two approximately 200-µm-thick longitudinal sections were made through the plate and femur using a Leica 1600 rotating saw microtome (Leica microsystems). These sections were fixed with cyanoacrylate onto Plexiglas slides and ground to a thickness of approximately 100 μm using a microgrinding system. One section per animal was stained with Giemsa eosin.

A high-resolution contact radiograph was taken post-mortem, using high-resolution technical film (D4 Structurix DW ETE, Agfa®, Belgium) and a cabinet X-ray system (Model No. 43855A, Faxitron X-Ray Corporation®, USA) at 42 kV for 5 min, with a 0.5 mm aluminium filter.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
