Figure 1. The radiological results of introduction of metal screw implants with various character of a surface into rabbits’ tibial proximal condyle. a - In 2 months after introduction the implant with a rough surface is located in a condyle of a tibial bone, there is a periosteum thickening in the field of a product head. b - 2 months later after surgical intervention the polished implant is present in a condyle of a tibial bone where there is a periosteum thickening. c - After removal of rough implant 6 months later in a bone tissue there are sites of the reduced density according to an arrangement of a screw thread sides, the increase of bone density is noted only in external areas of a condyle where the product is established. d - After removal of smooth implants in 6 months after operation in a bone there are depression sites corresponding to an arrangement of sides of a product, the increase in density of bone is noted only in periostum areas where the head and the end of an implant are located
