Einrichtung eines segmentalen Femoral Critical-size Defektmodell in Mäusen durch Plattenosteosynthese Stabilisierte

Although mouse models are invaluable tools for bone tissue engineering, models of long bone defects are sparse. This need motivated development of the present protocol which uses a locking plate with four screws and a dedicated jig to perform and stabilize a reproducible, femoral, critical-size defect with low morbidity.
