A study was undertaken to evaluate the fracture healing effect of ethanolic extracts of Cissus quadrangularis on experimentally fractured tibia of rats radiologically by using 3-point bending model. Closed transverse fracture of the mid – diaphysis of left tibia were created in rats after Phenobarbitone & Ketamine anaesthesia, by 3- point bending method. In the skiagram there was an evidence of union in Cissus quadrangularis treated group with extensive bony deposition compared to that of control [Normal saline] group. In our study, the findings assessed on the basis of radiological studies showed that ethanolic extract of Cissus quadrangularis had a definite fracture healing effect. The extracts can also be utilized as a new source of bone healer in the treatment of fracture.
