Implication

Demonstrates improved reproducibility in rodent bone research by optimizing surgical workflow and laboratory infrastructure.

Key Points

  • This research aims to address underreported barriers to reproducibility in preclinical rodent bone studies.
  • Conducted virtual surgical planning and rehearsal with 3D-printed samples.
  • Performed 108 external fixation procedures on rat femoral fractures.
  • Implemented disinfection protocols and intraoperative management strategies.
  • Emphasized multidisciplinary collaboration and research documentation.
  • Achieved no intraoperative dropouts due to surgical technique errors.
  • Operative time stabilized at 45.6 ± 3.8 minutes.
  • Enhanced animal welfare and improved reproducibility of experimental outcomes.
