Electrical stimulation of bone repair

S F Albert et al. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

Interest in methods of accelerating bone healing persists. Electrical stimulation has demonstrated consistently high success rates in recalcitrant, complicated nonunions. The promise of successful noninvasive alternatives for treating nonunions continues to be realized. Given the rapidity of advances in this field, it appears likely that acceleration of fracture repair by electrical stimulation will become more widespread in the future.
