Abstract
1. Bone plates can be prepared from the cortical portion of adult bovine ribs and may be used successfully for the repair of femur fracture in goats.
2. Chemical treatment of bone plates sequentially with hydrogen peroxide and ether makes them appropriate for heterogenous use.
3. With heterogenous bone plating optimal healing is discernible by 4 weeks while with neutralization plating the process appears to be incomplete even by six weeks, thus the former reduces the period of repair.
4. The feasibility of failure with single plating is very less with heterogenous bone plate than with neutralization plate.
5. Neutralization plates cause thinning of the cortex and hence the bone has to be protected after removal of the plate to prevent fatigue fracture.
6. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity reaches the peak in 21 days after which it gradually decreases to near normal by 42 days. And on 42 days there is 14.26% decrease of the peak value. These changes are independent of the materials used for immobilization.
7. The concept that fracture healing process is stimulated by heterogenous bone plate has been confirmed by the results of this study.
