Furthermore, weekly x-rays were taken to evaluate bone union described by Lane and Sandhu, and osteocalcin, procollagen I N-terminal propeptide, and procollagen I C-terminal propeptide were examined in blood samples taken by intracardiac puncture during sacrification.


 Furthermore, 3rd-week x-rays showed higher bone union scores according to the Lane and Sandhu method in the K2 group (P = .014).
