Detection of High-Energy Phosphates in Cortical Bone as an Indicator of Bone Healing and Remodelling: Use of a Rabbit Model

Purpose. To study high-energy phosphates in cortical bone through experiments on inbred white New Zealand rabbits. Methods. Tibial fractures were induced in 80 rabbits and then stabilised by screw osteosynthesis. After 3 (group A; n=40) or 7 days (groups B; n=40), the defective tissue was covered by...
