Abstract

Twenty rabbit femurs were used to study the effect of CO2 laser on cortical bone. Sixteen femurs were treated with 20 watts, 3 mm defocused beam, 2 KHZ spike pulse mode CO2 laser for 10 seconds through a circular window in the metaphysis. In four control femurs, the inner cortex was exposed without ...
