Article Synopsis
- Strontium ranelate (StR) was studied for its effects on fracture healing in a rabbit model, where 40 rabbits were divided into treated and control groups after undergoing ulna osteotomy.
- The treated group received 600 mg/kg/day of StR and showed significant improvements in healing indicators, such as larger callus diameter and higher vascularization at 2 weeks.
- By 4 weeks, the treatment group not only had enhanced biomechanical strength but also confirmed radiological bone union, suggesting that StR may effectively promote fracture healing, although more research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms.
