Fig 3. Identification of factors affecting osteoporotic fracture healing in OVX rats at D84 PF.

Fig 3

(A) Maximum load of fractured femurs in OVX rats with closed fractures was significantly lower than that of OVX rats with open fractures at D84 PF (p<0.05). (B) Maximum load of fractured femurs in SD rats was significantly different from that of Wister rats at D84 PF (p<0.05). (C) Studies were divided into two groups according to the age of the rats when ovariectomized. Maximum load of OVX rats ovariectomized at < = 12 weeks old was lower than that of OVX rats ovariectomized >12 weeks old at D84 PF (p<0.05). (D) Studies were divided into two groups according to the length of time from ovariectomy to femur fracture surgery, <12 weeks or > = 12 weeks. There was no significant difference in femur maximum load between these two groups at D84 PF (p>0.05).
