EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTION OF CARTILAGE DURING THE REPAIR OF FRACFURES OF THE SKULL VAULT IN RATS

F. G. Girgis 1; and J. J. Pritchard 1

1 The Anatomy Department, Queen's University, Belfast

Cartilage formation was provoked in the skull vault of the young rat by making multiple incisions, and scraping the periosteum to reduce the blood supply to the injured area. The hypothesis that ischaemia induces osteogenic cells to produce cartilage in the course of fracture repair thus receives experimental support.
