| Abstract | ||
| The present study was carried out to evaluate the platelet rich plasma (PRP) as a factor for accelerating bone healing and compared with normal healing in 18 apparently healthy male mongrel dogs based on clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings. Induction of femoral fracture was done in all dogs of both groups, a gap (0.5 cm × 0.5cm with the whole depth of the near cortex) was created at the fracture sit bone rongeur and the fracture was fixed with standard dynamic compression plate (DCP) and self taping cortical screws. Dogs were divided into two equal groups, each of 9 dogs. Group I was left as a control. In group II, the gap was packed with autogenous PRP. The results of this study pointed out that PRP slightly improved bone healing. | ||
