title: [Bioelectric potentials of bone in experimental fracture healing].
abstract: A specific electric potential gradient exists on the surface of long bone and the electric gradient changes after fracture. The electric potentials at the fracture site were measured and it was shown to change most actively during the early healing phase, and thereafter reached the normal level gradually. When soft tissue was damaged, certain potential changes occurred. But this change was different from that in the fracture site, indicating that the tissue has "biological window" effect of electrization.
