Abstract

We described how to make our rat femoral fracture model. Based on our results using this model, we reviewed radiological, histological and mechanical fracture healing process. Fracture healing is completed by not only bone union of fracture site but restoration of original bony shape and bone quality due to progression of callus remodeling.
