Abstract

We have developed a method to study the molecular basis of intramembranous fracture healing. Unlike intramedullary rods that permit rotation of the fractured bone segments, our murine model relies on an external fixation device to provide stabilization. In this study we compare stabilized fracture callus tissues with callus tissues from non‐stabilized fractures during the inflammatory, soft callus, hard callus, and remodeling stages of healing. Histological analyses indicate that stabilized fractures heal with virtually no evidence of cartilage whereas non‐stabilized fractures produce abundant cartilage at the fracture site. Expression patterns of collagen type IIa (colIIa) and osteocalcin (oc) reveal that mesenchymal cells at the fracture site commit to either a chondrogenic or an osteogenic lineage during the earliest stages of healing. The mechanical environment influences this cell fate decision, since mesenchymal cells in a stabilized fracture express oc and fail to express colIIa. Future studies will use this murine model of intramembranous fracture healing to explore, at a molecular level, how the mechanical environment exerts its influence on healing of a fracture. © 2002 Orthopaedic Research Society.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
