Mechanical properties of control and GA-treated calluses at 42 days post-fracture.
| Treatment | Peak Force (N) | Stiffness (x 104 Nm2) | CSA (x 10-7 m2) | LPA (x 107 Nm-2) | SPA (x 109 Nm-2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle (n = 20) Mean ± SEM | 3.92 ± 0.20 | 5.41 ± 0.30 | 5.22 ± 0.30 | 1.45 ± 0.13 | 4.15 ± 0.63 |
| GA (n = 17) Mean ± SEM | 3.76 ± 0.28 | 5.09 ± 0.38 | 3.59 ± 0.28 | 2.72 ± 0.43 | 8.63 ± 1.53 |
| p-value | 0.39 | 0.38 | < 0.001 | < 0.01 | < 0.01 |
CSA, cross sectional area; LPA, load per unit area; SPA, stiffness per unit area. Values are means ± SEM.
