Abstract

Oxytetracyclineflurochrome was used to study the amount and source of new bone formation in the evaluation of thyroxine and insulin therapy for the management of tibial metaphyseal fracture in dogs. Exogenous administration of thyroxine and insulin have some 'acceleratory effect on the process of fracture healing. However, thyroxine, has ‘little edge’ over insulin
