Middiaphyseal femoral fractures in children and young rats stimulate linear femoral growth, a phenomenon commonly attributed to increased vascularity. To test for changes in mRNA expression of genes related to blood vessels, nerve fibers, cartilage, bone, and cell metabolism, we measured mRNA gene expression for all known rat genes in the physis at various times after diaphyseal fracture. Female Sprague-Dawley rats, 4 weeks of age at surgery, were subjected to a unilateral, simple, transverse, m ...[more]
