Cryolesions of bone. An experimental study. part II: Results of cryosurgery on bone.
After freezing-devitalisation of rabbit tibia bone, a slow resorption and substitution by new bone within a period of 6 months could be demonstrated. Intramedullary freezing combined with internal fixation of an osteotomy in the frozen area was followed by a delayed healing. Angiographic studies showed an almost normal circulation after freezing of the main vessels.
