The effects of biosynthetic human growth hormone on the biomechanical properties of healing tibial fractures and intact bones in the rat were studied after 20 and 40 days of healing. Growth hormone, 2.0 mg per kg per day, was given subcutaneously in two daily doses. Control animals were injected with a corresponding volume of saline. After 20 days of fracture healing, there were no differences in mechanical properties between the healing fractures and intact bones. After 40 days, the ultimate load and maximum stiffness of the fractures of the b-hGH injected animals had increased to more than 400% of the corresponding values of the saline injected animals, and ultimate stress and energy absorption at ultimate load had increased to 270% compared with the saline injected animals. Ultimate load, stiffness, and energy absorption of the intact bones increased in the b-hGH injected animals, but no differences were found in ultimate stress values or normalized energy, indicating that the changes in the intact bones were quantitative phenomena.
