Abstract
The repair of an osteotomy of the rabbit tibia was studied by arterial radiography
and by histology following selective isolation of the potential sources of the fracture
callus. The periosteum was isolated by reaming and nailing the medullary cavity and
the bone marrow was isolated by applying a Silastic sheath around the shaft. The results
revealed certain features of periosteal and medullary healing.
