The effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound upon diabetic 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 ...

The 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...

The Effect of Low-intensity Pulsed Ultrasound on Fracture Healing in Insulin-dependant Diabetic Bb Wistar Rats

Introduction: Insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease that disrupts the body’s ability to produce insulin, and thus regulate the level of glucose in the blood. IDDM is associated with numerous systemic complications, including the impairment of fracture healing. Common problems include delayed unions, non-unions, and pseudoarthrosis. Previous studies conducted in our...
