The Effect of Strontium Ranelate on Fracture Healing: An Animal Study

Figure 2

Total vessel number at 2 weeks in control and StR group (a, b) and New trabecular bone at 4 weeks in control and StR group (c, d). (a) Total vessel number in control group (magnification ×10, hematoxylin-eosin). (b) Total vessel number in StR group (magnification ×10, hematoxylin-eosin). (c) New trabecular bone in control group (magnification ×10, hematoxylin-eosin). (d) New trabecular bone in StR group (magnification ×10, hematoxylin-eosin). At 2 weeks, a significant increase of total vessel number was observed in the StR treatment group. At 4 weeks, a significant increase of new trabecular bone was observed after StR treatment.
