Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for healing supracondylar fracture

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 ...

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing: an overview.

Low-intensity ultrasound is a biophysical form of intervention in the fracture-repair process, which through several mechanisms accelerates healing of fresh fractures and enhances callus formation in delayed unions and nonunions. The goal of this review is to present the current knowledge obtained from basic science and animal studies, as well as existing evidence from clinical trials and case ...

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...
