Therapeutic Potential Of Mumiyo In Enhancing Bone Healing Following Osteosynthesis In Rabbits

Abstract

This study evaluates the therapeutic effect of mumiyo in combination with osteogenon for treating bone fractures in rabbits after intramedullary osteosynthesis. Rabbits were monitored using standard veterinary clinical methods, observing physiological indicators such as appetite, body temperature, respiratory and pulse rates, as well as localized signs at the fracture site, including swelling, pain sensitivity, and skin temperature changes. Results showed that mumiyo-treated rabbits exhibited faster clinical recovery compared to the control group. By day seven post-surgery, these rabbits had normalized appetite, stable body temperature, and physiological parameters, with improved weight-bearing on the affected limb and no signs of pain or exudation. Hematological analysis revealed increased hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels, suggesting mumiyo's potential to stimulate hematopoiesis, which may support osteogenesis. This indicates that mumiyo, especially when combined with osteogenon, accelerates recovery and enhances both systemic and local healing responses. These findings suggest that mumiyo could serve as an effective adjunctive therapy in veterinary orthopedic practice, warranting further investigation through controlled studies.
