  • Title: Treatment of delayed union and nonunion of the tibia by pulsed electromagnetic fields. A retrospective follow-up.
    Author: Meskens MW, Stuyck JA, Mulier JC.
    Journal: Bull Hosp Jt Dis Orthop Inst; 1988; 48(2):170-5. PubMed ID: 2854484.
    Abstract:
    The results of a clinical follow-up of 57 tibial lesions treated with pulsed electromagnetic fields at least six months after the primary lesion occurred proved that this noninvasive method can be a valuable alternative to other commonly accepted modes of therapy. The overall success rate was 75% but could be improved to 81% when the proper indications were met.
