The experimental model in this study yielded a consistent pattern of normal healing. Thus, it is useful in studies of the effects of various extrinsic and intrinsic factors on osteogenesis and remodeling. Incorporation of the callus with the cortex appeared to involve the creation of new osteon formed partly by the callus and partly by the original bone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
