Abstract:
This investigation was to study the effects of cage-squeezing screw on tendon-bone healing in rabbits. The tendons of Twenty four rabbits were severed and fixed with cage-squeezing screw or ordinary squeezing screw on its tibia, and the interface of tendon-bone was tested at the ends of 3, 6 and 12 weeks after operations, respectively. The cage-squeezing screw can accelerate bone tunel healing and strengthen the graft intension. The experiments proved that the cage-squeezing screw could help the restructuring process of the graft after the beginning of reconstruction.
