Abstract
Background:Fracture-healing slows with age. While six-week-old rats regain normal bone biomechanics at four weeks after a fracture, one-year-old rats require more than twenty-six weeks. The objective of this study was to examine the possible role of altered mRNA gene expression in this delayed unionKeywords
