LOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT INCREASES RABBIT RADIAL 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 test...

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

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...

THE BEST DURATION OF LOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND FOR ACCELERATING FRACTURED-RADIAL BONE REPAIR

We have already shown that low intensity pulsed ultrasonic treatment increases rabbit radial fracture healing. The present experiment was undertaken to find out the best duration for treatment. A complete transverse fracture was made in the right radial bones of21 adult male rabbits by a Stanley knife. The animals were divided into 4 groups: group 1, control groups 2, 3, and 4, experimental...

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...
