Ultrasound produced by a conventional therapeutic ultrasound unit accelerates fracture repair.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A recent novel application of ultrasound therapy is the treatment of bone fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on fracture repair of ultrasound produced by a conventional therapeutic ultrasound unit as used by physical therapists. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Bilateral midshaft femur fractures were created in 30 adult male Long-Evans rats. Ultrasound t...

ANIMALS Thirty-three Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Specimens were anesthetized and each foot strapped, in turn, onto a motorized foot pedal, which moved the ankle repeatedly through a r...
متن کاملLow Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Accelerates Bone -tendon Junction Repair
INTRODUCTION: Many trauma surgeries and reconstructive surgeries involve re-establishment of a bone-tendon (B-T) junction, such as repair of patella fractures. In case of comminuted patella fractures, partial patellectomy has become a option of surgical repair . But direct B-T junction repair is slow due to poor regenerative capability of its junctional fibrocartilage zone. Biophysical interven...
متن کاملFocal Chorioretinitis Produced by Ultrasound.
Two hundred and forty rabbit eyes toere exposed to focused ultrasonic radiation at either 3.5 me. or 7 me. Circumscribed chorioretinal lesion and localized destruction of the ciliary: body could, be obtained without evidence of injury to other ocular tissues. The sound beam retrodisplaces detached retinas. These observations suggest possible uses of ultrasound in retinal detachment repair, ctjc...
متن کاملTherapeutic Ultrasound
Ultrasound has been a part of clinical practice since sometime back in the 1950's, and remains a popular and evidenced intervention for a range of clinical problems. Shah and Farrow (2012) provide an insight into its current clinical popularity as does the widely cited paper by Pope et al (1995). General (textbook) reviews and explanations can be found in Watson and Young (2008) and Robertson e...
