Case Reports
Treatment of pseudarthroses with electrodynamic potentials of low frequency range
Clin Orthop Relat Res.
1981 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
In 319 patients suffering from septic and noninfected pseudarthroses, bone consolidation has been achieved in 93.6% by a cancellous bone graft plus a semi-invasive method of electrostimulation of nonunion using low frequency A.C. potentials, i.e., the electrodynamic procedure. By inductively coupled electromagnetic fields, the potentials are produced in inductable implants. There are no contraindications for the procedure and no side effects.
