Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for treating delayed union scaphoid fractures: case series
BACKGROUND The standard treatment to enhance fracture healing of scaphoid nonunions is surgery. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is gaining in popularity as an alternative treatment to improve fracture healing; however, little is known about success rates of this treatment in scaphoid-delayed unions. The purpose of our study is to define the success rate of LIPUS treatment for delayed un...
متن کاملLOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT INCREASES RABBIT RADIAL FRACTURE HEALING
In order to study the effect of ultrasound (US) on bone healing, a complete transverse fracture was made in the right radius of adult male rabbits by a cutter. 52 rabbits were used: group I. control (n= 17): group 2. test (n:=: 15): group 3, intact (n= I) and group 4 (n= 12) who were examined only for evaluation of the cutter effects in detail. 7 animals were operated with a Gigli saw. The ...
متن کاملLow-intensity pulsed ultrasound in the treatment for fracture
Introduction Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been reported, by various authors, to promote bone healing. The aim of our review was to review the available literature and evaluate the effectiveness of LIPUS in the treatment of various types of complicated fracture union. Materials and methods Different search engines including MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were used, and t...
متن کاملLow Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS)
The application of ultrasound energy at much lower levels than is the current clinical norm is starting to gain ground as a therapeutic possibility. Clearly the applied energy is the same, it is the ‘dose’ which is different – most importantly, the intensity (W cm) – which is MUCH lower – typically 2 or 3 times lower than the lowest setting on most regular clinical machines, with the most commo...
