Abstract

Radiographs taken on the post fracture day15 and 40 showed better healing in the Nandrolone Decanoate administrated groups as a dense periosteal bone formation and prevention of the local osteoporosis. Histochemical examination of the callus and high serum alkaline phosphatase levels on day 15 and 40 confirmed better mineralization in experimental animals.
