Fracture healing was studied in 28 rabbits after their femurs had been osteomized using the carbon dioxide laser. Twenty rabbits whose femurs were osteotomized by means of a Gigli saw served as the control group. Fracture healing was initially delayed in the laser cut femurs, yet after 60 days no significant difference between the groups could be detected. The initial delay was caused by thermal damage to the laser cut bone edges. Further fragmentation of the damaged bone occurred during the immediate postoperative period.
在28只兔子的股骨用二氧化碳激光截骨后，对骨折愈合情况进行了研究。20只通过线锯截骨的兔子作为对照组。激光截骨的股骨骨折愈合最初出现延迟，但60天后两组之间未发现显著差异。最初的延迟是由激光截骨边缘的热损伤引起的。术后即刻受损骨发生了进一步碎裂。
