A rabbit humerus model of plating and nailing osteosynthesis with and without Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis
The local mechanical environment at a fracture is known to influence biological factors such as callus formation, immune cell recruitment and susceptibility to infection.Infection models incorporating a fracture are therefore required to evaluate prevention and treatment of infection after osteosynthesis.The aim of this study was to create humane,
