The aim of this study is to analyze the bone marrow employment in rats to stimulate the bone callus formation. Ten adult rats were used, male, isogenic, gioto lineage, approximate weight of 250 grams. Bone failures were produced at femur distal portion, alternating the right and left sides, and they were divided in group A and B. The control was held in rats presenting an isolated bone failure or having their bone marrow previously collected After quantitative and qualitative analysis, it was observed that the bone marrow utilization does not lead to the bone callus formation and there isn't an increase in the local inflammation process.
