Ischemia Injury: A New Method Accelerates Bone Healing in a Rat Tibia Fracture Model

Figure 2

X-rays of rats in each group. Left side displayed the name of row and the top was the name of column. Affected limb received repetitive brief ischemia every 24 hours and every 48 hours (A24, A48), healthy limb received repetitive brief ischemia every 24 hours and every 48 hours (H24, H48), control group received homemade tourniquet uninflated every 24 hours and every 48 hours (C24, C48) from the left to the right and up to down in a chronological order. It can be seen from each image that repeated brief ischemia can significantly increase callus formation.
