Dose Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Osteotomy Gap Healing in a Canine Model
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) have proven to be effective in accelerating healing in delayed unions and in healing nonunions [1]. The effectiveness of a new PEMF signal which requires less power than the existing devices was demonstrated in animal models [2,3]. However, the optimal dose of the stimulation has yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal time duration for exposure of the new PEMF signal using a delayed union model in the canine mid-tibia.

متن کاملTreatment of delayed and nonunited fractures and osteotomies with pulsed electromagnetic field in children and adolescents.
Nonunion of fractures or osteotomies in the pediatric population is rare. The gold standard for the treatment of nonunions involves harvesting autologous iliac crest bone graft and sometimes internal fixation, which are invasive procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field on a non-united fracture or osteotomy in the pediatric populatio...
متن کاملLow-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields significantly improve time of closure and proliferation of human tendon fibroblasts
BACKGROUND The promotion of the healing process following musculoskeletal injuries comprises growth factor signalling, migration, proliferation and apoptosis of cells. If these processes could be modulated, the healing of tendon tissue may be markedly enhanced. Here, we report the use of the Somagen™ device, which is certified for medical use according to European laws. It generates low-frequen...
