  • Title: [Mechanism of the stimulating effect of an electric current on reparative regeneration of bone tissue].
    Author: Landa VA, Popova MM, Shimkevich LL, Baranov VK.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1978 Sep; 86(9):361-2. PubMed ID: 308822.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were conducted on rabbits. Changes in ATP in the regenerating bone tissue after incomplete osteotomy and removal of a bone section, and also in cases of reparative osteogenesis stimulation in the region of the bone defect by means of pulse electric current were studied. ATP content in the bone callus after incomplete osteotomy and electrostimulation proved to exceed such in the regenerating bone tissue following removal of the bone fragment when no stimulation was applied. On the basis of the data obtained it is suggested that improvement of energy provision of the fracture consolidation process was one of the important links in the mechanism of stimulating influence of the electric current on the reparative regeneration of the bone tissue.
