In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the positive role that ultrasound can play in
the enhancement of fracture healing or in the reactivation of a failed healing process. We …

Millions of fractures occur every year worldwide, with nearly 6.2 million fractures reported
annually in the United States alone. Even though treatment methods have improved over the …

It has been 30 years since the first level one clinical trial demonstrated low intensity pulsed
ultrasound (LIPUS) could accelerate fracture repair. Since 1994 numerous investigations …

Ultrasound is an inaudible form of acoustic sound wave at 20 kHz or above that is widely
used in the medical field with applications including medical imaging and therapeutic …

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound is used in the clinical treatment of fractures and other
osseous defects. Level I clinical studies demonstrate the ability of a specific ultrasound …

Fracture healing is a highly complex regenerative process that is essentially a replay of
developmental events. These events include the action of many different cell types, a myriad …

Fracture repair continues to be widely investigated, both within the clinical realm and at the
fundamental research level, in part due to the fact that 5% to 10% of fractures result in either …

Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a developing technology, which has been
proven to improve fracture healing process with minimal thermal effects. This noninvasive …

It has been shown that ultrasound (US) stimulation accelerates fracture healing in the animal
models and in clinical studies. However, the mechanism by which US achieves these …

® The effectiveness of low-intensity ultrasound has also been demonstrated in the clinical
treatment of delayed unions and nonunions. racture-healing is a complex biological process …
