This rabbit has unusual reaction to the autoclaved bone graft. Radiographs at 3 weeks (A), 6 weeks (B) and 9 weeks (C) showed abundant external callus formation and bone resorption at proximal and distal osteotomy sites. Radiographs at 12 weeks (D) showed extensive bone graft resorption and this caused shortening of the tibia, proximal migration of the K-wire and bending of the fibula.
