Study of radius delayed union on bone mineral density and biomechanics treated by Chinese traditional medicine and bone marrow transplantation / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To study the effect of Chinese traditional medicine and bone marrow transplantation on treating delayed union.[Method]The model of delayed union in 75 rabbits was made and divided into 4 groups.Group A,20 rabbits treated with Chinese traditional medicine and red marrow 2 ml;Group B, 20 rabbits treated with Chinese traditional medicine;Group C,20 rabbits treated with red marrow;Group D,15 rabbits treated with nothing.X-ray in the 4th, 8th and 12th weeks were observed after treating.And bone mineral density and biomechanics were observed in 12~(th) week after trenting.[Result]X-ray revealed that group A heal earlier than group B,C and D.At the same time,bone mineral density and biomechanics in group A was better than others.[Conclusion]The treatment of delayed union by Chinese traditional medicine and bone marrow transplantation is one of effective means.
