The current study proceeded on twenty adult ratswereused to evaluate the effect of bone wax on healing of fractured femoral bone. After anesthetized two holes were drilled on femoral bone of 20 adult rats of all animals and divided into two groups randomly treated group each hole was filled with bone wax, and the other was left unfilled as control. Sites of intervention were estimated by histopathology. This study evidence complete bone hemostasis was achieved immediately after the application of bone wax on fractured bone but this agent inhibit bone healing and osteogenesis and they made bony lesions in animal femoral bone. The data were analysis by using the SPSS version 24 showed a significant difference between bone wax and control groups.
