From: Overgrowth of long bone in rabbits by growth stimulation through metaphyseal hole creation
Surgery was performed on the left tibiae of rabbits weighing 2.5–3 kg. A longitudinal medial skin incision was made over the left proximal tibial regions, approximately 1–2 cm in length, in each group. During the creation of the metaphyseal hole, a Steinman pin was used instead of a drill to avoid thermal damage. The vacant space was filled with bone wax.
