Background: Planimetry is a method used to evaluate the progression of skin wound healing. Computerized planimetry is still an experimental method, but its advantages have been demonstrated in several investigations. Objective: To evaluate the effects of lowintensity pulsed ultrasound on the healing of a skin lesion produced on the dorsal region of rats, by means of computerized planimetry. Met...

It is estimated that approximately 5% to 10% of fractures will evolve into nonunions. Nonunions have a significant impact on patient quality life and socioeconomic costs. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) non-invasive therapy widely used within the orthopedic community accelerate healing fresh fractures, minimize delayed healing, promote In this case series, 46 nonunions 19 were treated w...
