In the original publication [1], “Grünewald, T.A.; Ogier, A.; Akbarzadeh, J.; Meischel, M.; Peterlik, H.; Stanzl-Tschegg, S.; Löffler, J.F.; Weinberg, A.M.; Lichtenegger, H.C.

The citation has now been inserted as reference [23] in the captions of Figures 2, 5, 6, Section 4.2. Bone Samples, Paragraph 1, and should read as follows:

The samples for this investigation (one per dwelling time) were obtained from male Sprague Dawley rat femurs that had been implanted with WZ21 pins at the age of five weeks and were monitored by micro-computed tomography and histological investigations during the course of healing [5]. The interfacial mechanical properties of this kind of alloys, as well as details regarding the design of the experiment, can be found in [33,34]. The experiments were authorized by the Austrian Ministry of Research and Science (Vienna, Austria) under accreditation number BMWF-66.010/0087-II/3b/2011. In this study, six samples with implant dwelling times of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months were used as longitudinal sections embedded in PMMA resin (Technovit 7100, Materials 2016, 9, 811 9 of 11 Heraeus Kulzer, Werheim, Germany). Part of these samples had been used in a previous study to investigate the bone nanostructure with small-angle X-ray scattering [23]. As described in [23], the sections were ground to a thickness of approx. 200 μm using a Struers Planopol-3 (Struers, Ballerup, Denmark) polishing machine with #200 sanding paper.

With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.
