## Abstract This paper presents an in vivo test for assessment of regenerate axial stiffness after the distraction phase of lengthening therapy. The test result supplements radiography in evaluating bone healing and assists in determining when the regenerate stiffness is sufficient for removal of t

We present a new method for quantitatively assessing the consolidation of bone regeneration by performing distraction osteogenesis in micropigs. We measured in vivo stiffness using a newly developed, revolving, bone-healing meter. After the micropigs were killed, we obtained maximum torsional moment
An experimental model of lengthening of the lower limb was used to study the morphology and cellular proliferation of regenerating bone tissue after 20% lengthening at four rates of distraction. Groups of rabbits were killed at different times 1-8 weeks after surgery. The regenerated area was divide
