Abstract
The benefits of single high dose vitamin D3 on fracture healing in a healthy animal model were demonstrated in a previous ultrastructural study. This study aims to observe the biomechanical consequences of applying a single high dose vitamin D3 in a healthy rabbit model, following a femoral fracture. It was seen that the fracture load, the values of energy absorbed until fracture and the flexural rigidity values of the vitamin D group were significantly higher than the corresponding ones of the control group in the case of fracture. On the other hand, in intact bones, the mentioned values for the two groups did not differ significantly. It was concluded that single high dose vitamin D3 application had positive effects on fracture healing in a healthy animal model as far as the parameters related to mechanical strength are concerned also.
