The possible influence of Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin on bone-healing was studied in vivo using a standardized, closed rodent fracture-model. After pinning of the right femur and randomization, a closed transverse fracture was produced. 21 days later, the animals (n=70) were euthanized and both femora harvested. Analysis was done by biomechanical testing (three-point bending) and micro CT. Both substances showed histomorphometric alterations of the new formed callus. In contrast, the biomechanical properties of the treated bones were equal to controls. To summarize, the morphological alterations of the fracture-callus did not result in functionally relevant deficits.
