Early post-operative exercise promotes bone healing kinetics. Preclinical evaluation of non-critical sized femur defect healing

Introduction Physical exercise is a well-known modality for maintaining healthy locomotor mechanism. A detailed preclinical research on physical exercise effect on bone healing kinetics could help to improve the rehabilitation process after fracture treatment and bone remodeling. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of early post-operative exercise effect on bone microstructural changes in a rat model.
