May inform preclinical fracture models; leaves open translation to human delayed union assessment.
This preclinical study demonstrates a direct correlation between vascular reorganization and the return of biomechanical rigidity during bone fracture healing.
Chidgey et al. (1986) studied Long bone fracture healing. Middiaphyseal osteotomy of the radius was evaluated on Relationship between vascular reorganization and rigidity. Vascular reorganization demonstrated a direct and predictable relationship with bone rigidity during canine long bone fracture healing, even in delayed union specimens.
