Six clinical cases with femur fracture were treated with concentrated bone marrow cells deposited at the fracture site after stabilizing the fracture fragments with i.m. pin. The animals were able to bear weight on third postoperative day, and on 60th postoperative day minimum visibility of endosteal and periosteal callus at the fracture site was noticed on the radiograph. On 7th postoperative day distal migration of pin was noticed in one dog but excellent healing of the fracture was noticed in rest of the dogs.
