3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Unilateral femoral fractures were produced in 2-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats.
Daily subcutaneous injections of 10 microg/kg of recombinant human PTH(1-34) [rhPTH(1-34)] were administered over a 28-day period of fracture healing.
Control animals were injected with vehicle solution (normal saline) alone.
