From: Chenopodium ambrosioides as a bone graft substitute in rabbits radius fracture
Effect of lyophilized aqueous Chenopodium ambrosioides extract on bone formation 30 days after application. Histology photomicrographs of collagen organization of bone remodeling in a complete diaphyseal fracture of the radius of rabbits. Control group: (a) non-organized collagen and (b) beginning of osteon formation. C. ambrosioides graft: mature osteon. Autogenous bone marrow: predominance of non-lamellar bone tissue. Ricinus communis graft: (a) predominance of a forming osteon and (b) non-organized collagen. Sirius red staining under polarized light (200 μm)
