    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the promoting effect of phenytoin on fracture healing. METHODS: Fourty cases with close fractures of tibia and fibula were included and divided into two groups randomly: the experimental group was administrated with phenytoin and Chinese traditional drug-Jiegudan orally, while the control group was given Jiegudan only. Longitudinal percussion pain, clinical healing time of fracture, growth of calus in X-ray film were detected to evaluate the clinical result. RESULTS: All the fractures were healed in 3 months. But the experimental group was superior to the control group in all indexes. CONCLUSION: Administration of phenytoin orally can markedly promote fracture healing.
