Experimental fractures of a standard size and location were produced mechanically in the radius of rabbits. The animals were then exposed to gamma radiation in doses between 10 and 300 r. The time interval between the fracture and the subsequent irradiation varied between 1 and 30 days in the case of animals exposed to small doses and between 1 and 11 days in the other groups. Small doses under 100 r in 28 rabbits exerted no influence upon the healing of the fractures. Medium doses of 100 to 150 r in 19 rabbits delayed the callus formation and sometimes led to deformation and asymmetric healing of the fracture. Large doses of 300 r in 17 rabbits delayed or prevented the callus formation and particularly the calcification. (OTS)
