Good bone formation was found by computed tomography after 4 months.
In addition, signs of bone healing was found by radiographic examination in 30%% of the cases.
Epiphyseal scan (4%): The periosteal surface of each bone's epiphysis was found by a contour algorithm based on thresholding at 200 mg/cm3 (metacar-pals) and 180 mg/cm3 (radius and tibia, contour mode 180nd peel mode 1 of the softwaradius
