Low-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) improves metaphyseal fracture healing in an osteoporotic rat model
PURPOSE As result of the current demographic changes, osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures are becoming an increasing social and economic burden. In this experimental study, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), was evaluated as a treatment option for the improvement of osteoporotic fracture healing. METHODS A well-established fracture model in the metaphyseal tibia in the osteoporotic...
متن کاملTreatment of Standardized Fractures by Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (eswt)
ESWT is used in treatment of pseudoarthrosis and may be considered for callus lengthening operations. In this study, effects of ESWT on the forming callus were studied. Transverse femoral osteotomy at mid diaphysis, internally fixated with Kirschner wires were performed on 20 male, ten-week-old white Wistar rats. In the third week, animals underwent ESWT with 1500 (Group I) and 500 (Group II) s...
متن کاملMetaphyseal Fracture Healing
Most of what is known about fracture healing comes from studies of shaft fractures in long bones. In contrast, patients more often have fractures closer to the ends (metaphyses). Here most bone tissue has a spongy, cancellous structure different from the compact bone of the shaft. There is an increasing awareness that metaphyseal fractures heal differently. However, the more easily studied shaf...

INTRODUCTION This study investigated the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in osteoporotic (OP) osteoarthritis (OA) of rat knee. METHODS Fifty-six rats were divided into seven groups including sham, OA, OP, OA + OP, OA + ESWT, OP + ESWT, and OA + OP + ESWT groups. The evaluations included gross pathology, bone mineral density (BMD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) ...
