A prospective, double-blind trial of electrical capacitive coupling in the treatment of non-union of long bones

G Scott and JB King
Department of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, Royal London Hospital, England.

Twenty-three patients who had an established non-union of a long bone were entered into a prospective, double-blind trial in which electrical capacitive coupling was used for treatment. Twenty-one patients completed the study: ten who were actively managed and eleven who were managed with a placebo unit. The non-union healed in six of the ten patients who had been managed actively but in none of the patients who had been managed with the placebo unit. This difference in the rates of healing between the actively managed and the placebo groups is highly significant (p = 0.004).
