Distraction of the growth plate of the distal radius was performed on 15 pigs and 10 sheep of growing age. The separation of the plate from the metaphysis occurred within 4-6 days after the operation. The distraction rate was 1-1.5 mm/day and was continued for 1-3 weeks. Consolidation of the separation area occurred within 6 weeks. Oxytetracycline bone labelling showed that the ossification developed toward the centre of the separation line from the metaphysis and from the inner layer of the periosteum as well as from the physeal side. The growth of the bone continued after the distraction procedure and in most cases the growth plate was open when examined radiologically after the distraction.
对15头生长阶段的猪和10只生长阶段的绵羊进行了桡骨远端生长板牵张术。术后4 - 6天，生长板与干骺端分离。牵张速率为1 - 1.5毫米/天，持续1 - 3周。分离区域在6周内愈合。土霉素骨标记显示，骨化从干骺端、骨膜内层以及骺板侧朝向分离线中心发展。牵张术后骨继续生长，大多数情况下，牵张后经放射学检查时生长板仍开放。
