Summary

Three different approaches of freezing rabbit tibia bones are demonstrated. Intramedullary freezing seems to be the safest method to avoid soft tissue necrosis. Bone specimens removed immediately after the freezing-thawing process showed electron optically evidence of irreversible damage of bone cells in all cases.

Zusammenfassung

Die verschiedenen Methoden der Frierung von Tibiaknochen des Kaninchens werden beschrieben. Davon zeigt die intrameditlläre Methode die geringsten Nebenwirkungen. In jedem Fall konnten elektronenoptisch sofort nach dem Frier-Tau-Vorgang Zeichen der irreversiblen Schädigung von Knochenzellen beobachtet werden.
