3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
A controlled unilateral mandibular fracture was created surgically in 29 male Sprague-Dawley rats and then stabilized using an external fixation device.
The rats were divided into 2 groups: 1 group received daily subcutaneous injections of 10 microg/kg of PTH(1-34) and 1 group served as the vehicle control.
The rats were killed on postoperative days 7 and 21, and radiographic densitometry and histologic evaluation of new bone formation were performed.
