Modification of fracture repair with selected pulsing electromagnetic fields

CA Bassett, MG Valdes and E Hernandez

We assayed different pulsing electromagnetic fields for their effects on the mechanical and histological repair properties of an osteotomy of the radius of the rat fourteen days postoperatively. Highly significant differences were found in the control and experimental initial load values and their decay as a function of time. These results correlate well with the histological pattern in the bridging callus. A pulse that produces an increase (above the control level) in initial load by a factor of 2.4 and a slower decay was characterized by more extensive calcification of fibrocartilage and its replacement by fibrous bone at this early, but important, stage in fracture-healing.
