Bone cells (osteocytes and osteoclasts) do not replicate, so we must rely on exogenous cell sources to maintain healthy bone. Currently, fracture treatment is effectively performed by surgeons, and the postoperative healing process relies mainly on autogenous recovery. Given the aforementioned inadequacies regarding bone regeneration, we decided to test the efficacy of vitamin D3, which is known to induce postoperative bone formation. Methods: Rats.
