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 for fractures of the tibial shaft.
The key characteristic of a clinical researcher is probably the determination to deliver high quality studies despite all the inevitable bumps along the road. As well as the difficulties around funding and maintaining large collaborations that can deliver high impact multicentre studies, there are also more worrying challenges that threaten the robustness of the science. Some are widely recogni...
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 ...

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...
