Description

An attempt to asses duration of the biological stimulation after osteotomy known as the ''Nissen effect'' has been made. An experiment has been performed on 5 adult rabbits injected with 100 μCi strontium 85. Biological stimulation of the osteotomy was measured by the incorporation of the isotope into the bone which has been increasing to reach the maximum 3 months after the operation. At 5 months postoperatively the incorporation ceased what indicated termination of the stimulating effect of the osteotomy. (author)
