Traditionally Cissusquadrangularis has been used as a medicinal plant since antiquity. Cissus has been used in various Ayurvedic classical medicines to heal broken bones and injured ligaments and tendons. It is being used very commonly & without much clinical evidences of level-1. The said drug is being widely used by orthopaedicsurgeons.The current study was done on 30 healthy male albino rabbits after clearance from IAEC.The animals were divided into two groups viz. control and study group. Fibula of left leg of all the animals were fractured surgically. The study groups received oral CissusQuadrangularis in solution. Fracture healing of study group was compared with the control group radiologically and histopathologically to establish the role of CissusQuadrangularis on fracture healing.
