From: Characterization of a rat osteotomy model with impaired healing
(a-h). Radiographs of a rat tibia after osteotomy (a-d) or fracture (e-h) over the complete observation period: (a and e) day of surgery, (b and f) 28 d post surgery, (c and g) 42 d post surgery and (d and h) 84 d post surgery. Although there was the best possible fixation and there were no signs of osteolysis, radiographs of osteotomized animal revealed extremely impaired healing and clearly indicated nonunion.
