Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound: Fracture healing

LOW 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 ...

effects of low intensity pulsed ultrasound on healing of denervated tibial fracture in the rabbit

Osteoporotic Bone showed Enhanced Fracture Healing Response with Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound

Introduction: Most fractures in elderly are fragility fractures occurring in osteoporotic bones. Delayed in treatment may cause morbidity and mortality with many complications and social burdens. Our previous clinical study had shown that the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could provide a beneficial effect on complex fracture. This promising efficacy was further consolidated thr...

Acceleration of tibial fracture-healing by non-invasive, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound.

Sixty-seven closed or grade-I open fractures of the tibial shaft were examined in a prospective, randomized, double-blind evaluation of use of a new ultrasound stimulating device as an adjunct to conventional treatment with a cast. Thirty-three fractures were treated with the active device and thirty-four, with a placebo control device. At the end of the treatment, there was a statistically sig...
