The impact of postoperative mechanical stimulation on callus formation – a case series conducted on sheep
Objectives: Formation of fracture callus during secondary bone healing is promoted by mechanical stimulation, i.e. the interfragmentary motion between the fractured bone fragments. In clinical settings, the extent of mechanical stimulation depends on (1) the stiffness of the fixation construct and (2) [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
