Abstract

Embryonic chick femurs were isolated, and a transverse osteotomy was performed at the midshaft. The femurs were transplanted individually onto the host chorioallantoic membrane and incubation continued. Cultured femurs were harvested at intervals from 1 to 9 days after the transplant. Histologic examinations showed that repair progressed rapidly: the fracture gap was invaded by blood vessels and fibrous ingrowth. Ossification followed, and the repair process was completed by Day 9.
