Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS)
The application of ultrasound energy at much lower levels than is the current clinical norm is starting to gain ground as a therapeutic possibility. Clearly the applied energy is the same, it is the ‘dose’ which is different – most importantly, the intensity (W cm) – which is MUCH lower – typically 2 or 3 times lower than the lowest setting on most regular clinical machines, with the most commo...

متن کاملTreatment of chronic (>1 year) fracture nonunion: heal rate in a cohort of 767 patients treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS).
BACKGROUND Established fracture nonunions rarely heal without secondary intervention. Revision surgery is the most common intervention, though non-surgical options for nonunion would be useful if they could overcome nonunion risk factors. Our hypothesis is that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can enhance heal rate (HR) in fractures that remain nonunion after one year, relative to the ex...
متن کاملA cohort study of 4,190 patients treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS): findings in the elderly versus all patients
BACKGROUND Patient age is one of many potential risk factors for fracture nonunion. Our hypothesis is that older patients (≥ 60) with fracture risk factors treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) have similar heal rate (HR) to the population as a whole. We evaluate the impact of age in conjunction with other risk factors on HR in LIPUS-treated patients with fresh fracture (≤ 90 day...
متن کاملThe 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...
