Local manganese chloride treatment accelerates fracture healing in a rat model

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of local delivery of manganese chloride (MnCl2), an insulin‐mimetic compound, upon fracture healing using a rat femoral fracture model. Mechanical testing, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess early and late parameters of fr...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of local delivery of manganese chloride (MnCl2), an insulin‐mimetic compound, upon fracture healing using a rat femoral fracture model. Mechanical testing, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess early and late parameters of fracture healing. At 4 weeks post‐fracture, maximum torque to failure was 70% higher (P
