Time course of pO2 change at the fracture site. When animals breathed 100% oxygen, tissue oxygen equilibrium was achieved in 90 minutes in fractures with intact femoral artery. after femoral artery resection, very low tissue pO2 was detected at fracture sites, which remained low even after 90 minutes of inspiring 100% oxygen.
