| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the optimal duration and interval of percutaneous carbon dioxide (CO2) therapy for fracture repair by using rat closed femoral fracture model. The present study demonstrated that continuous CO2 therapy throughout the process of fracture repair was effective in the enhancement of fracture repair. Although CO2 therapy twice a week was also effective for fracture repair, continuous CO2 therapy was more effective for fracture repair. The results of this investigation would provide useful information on the application of this system in the clinical setting.
