Abstract:
Conventional, SPF, and germ-free Wistar rats of both sexes served as laboratory animals. The 2-month-old animals were alcoholized over a period of 1 year using 5%-20% ethanol. The femurs were then osteotomized and treated surgically. Every 2 weeks the course of healing was controlled radiologically. The findings on the process of healing are presented in this work.
