Introduction

It is well known that blood flow is a critical key component of fracture repair. Previously, we demonstrated that transcutaneous application of CO2 increased blood flow in the human body. To date, there has been no report investigating the effect of the carbonated therapy on fracture repair.

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that the transcutaneous application of CO2 to fracture site would accelerate fracture repair.
