| Abstract: | The effect of compressive forces on the mineral components of bone tissue was studied. On the basis of x-ray diffraction analysis and the observed electrical and recrystallization effects, it is proposed that compression has a direct effect on the formation of callus through a definite means of compression osteosynthesis.Paper presented at the First All-Union Conference on Engineering and Medical Biomechanics, Riga, October, 1975.Orthopedic Clinic, Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest, Hungary.
