Lower extremity trauma is very often managed by applying an external fixator to stabilize the fracture site.These limbs very frequently require multiple surgeries, which predisposes them to problems like heel pressure sore, equinus deformity and limb edema.These complications prolong the healing time and create obstacles in rehabilitation.Our aim w
Micronuclei, comet and chromosome alterations assays are the most widely used biomarkers for determining the genotoxic damage in a population exposed to genotoxic chemicals.While chromosome alterations are an excellent biomarker to detect short- and long-term genotoxic effects, the comet assay only measures early biological effects, and furthermore
