Abstract
A consistently reproducible non-union model has been created in the adult rabbit tibial diaphysis. After making an osteotomy, the marrow was removed, the periosteum was excised and a silastic sheath was wrapped around the shaft. The fracture cleft was invaded by a non osteogenic fibrous tissue following the removal of the sheath after an interval of 4 weeks.
