ABSTRACT

[Objective]To explore the effect of fracture healing with intramedullary nail of poly-DL-lactic acid(PDLLA) mixed with chitosan and basic fibroblast growth factor(b-FGF),and provides the basis for clinical application.[Method]Middle tibia fracture model of 120 healthy adult rabbits of New Zealand were established and randomly divided into 6 groups as followsexperimental(A)30 rabbits with PDLLA+CHS+ b-FGF;control5 groups(18 animals for each group)control(B) with PDLLA+CHS,control(C) with PDLLA,control(D) with PDLLA+b-FGF,control(E) with Kirschner's wire,and control(F) with Kirschner's wire+b-FGF.Radiological and histological follow-up was performed in 4,8,12 weeks postoperatively.[Result]All animals were survival.There was no significant difference(P
