## Abstract Because internal and external fixation devices alter blood flow, and thus the transport of nutrients to the cortical bone of a healing fracture, we studied the effects of a fluted intrameduilary rod (IMR), a halfβframe external fixator (EF), and a compression plate (PL) on the cortical
The healing of a diaphyseal tibia fracture was followed in the rat. Callus formation, blood flow and Sr-85 uptake were assessed by a ratio comparison of the fractured to the contralateral side. No correlation was found between blood flow and Sr-85 deposition in the callus and the adjacent bone of th
