[Animal experiments on the modification of fracture healing by growth hormone (STH)].
Human growth hormone seems to improve fracture healing. Using rat experiments, the clinical experiences of other authors were reviewed critically. Examination of metabolic parameters showed no useful results. Measurement of bone length and circumference and comparison of radiographs, scintigraphs, and histologic examinations indicated positive results with regard to the improvemnt of osseous consolidation when influenced by growth hormone.
