“…Based on the morphological observations of the osteotomy, it can be said that there was an improvement in the consolidation process in the groups that received some kind of treatment (groups 2, 3 and 4), compared with the control group. This fact seems to confirm some reports found in literature, such as acceleration of the consolidation process through ultrasonic therapy (Erdogan et al 2006;Chan et al 2006) and the influence of physical activity on the blood flow in the site of the lesion, which improves the recovery of the fracture through muscular contraction (Nordesletten et al 1994).…”

“…A atividade física pode modificar vários fatores importantes para a reparação óssea. Uma hipótese proposta por alguns pesquisadores (19,20) para o efeito da atividade física é a de que a contração muscular levaria a uma melhora do processo de consolidação óssea por aumentar o fluxo sanguíneo. Contudo, Grundnes e Reikeras (21) demonstraram não haver alteração do fluxo sanguíneo no sítio da fratura em decorrência da atividade física Legendas: a = p < 0,05 (Anova e pós-teste de Tukey) em relação ao grupo controle e G1; EPM = Erro padrão da média.…”

“…It is a well known fact that the mechanical environment to a large degree influences the process of concrescence of a fractured bone [16]. Insufficient stabilization, related to preservation of interfraction motion or considerable dislocation of the fractions may delay the concrescence processes.…”
