Abstract
The photoacoustic analysis of fractured bone callus to different consolidation times in the presence of laser irradiation was performed. In this study we take into account the fractured tibias of sacrified Wistar rats. By using the photoacoustic spectroscopy technique it was possible to determine, for different doses of laser irradiation (doses of 25 J cm-2) the presence of characteristic absorption band of p -Nitrophenylphosphatase (p -Npp) in the fractured bone callus. The evolution of bone consolidation was accelerated by laser radiation when compared with nonirradiated fractured bones.
