The effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on fresh fracture

The effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on fresh fracture

BACKGROUND Low-intensity pulsed ultrasonography (LIPUS) is a form of mechanical stimulation that is delivered via a special device to the fracture site for the acceleration of fracture healing. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of LIPUS for fresh fractures in adults. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library searched between Jan 1980 and Nov 2016. Studies should be quas...

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 ...

Low-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...
