Sodium-beta-glycerol-phosphate is an innocuous drug,readily available for further experimental and clinical studies. It is apparently well tolerated by the experimental animal in a dosage of wide range, and seems to stimulate and hasten the reparative process and the production of bone callus. More histological and chemical studies are in progress. The clinical trial of sodium-beta-glycerol-phosphate is suggested.
