  • Title: Non-invasive treatment of ununited fractures of the tibia using electrical stimulation.
    Author: de Haas WG, Watson J, Morrison DM.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1980 Nov; 62-B(4):465-70. PubMed ID: 6968752.
    Abstract:
    A non-invasive method of electrical stimulation of healing in ununited fractures of the tibia by pulsed magnetic fileds has been evaluated. In a series of 17 patients all but two of the fractures united within 4 to 10 months, with an average time of just under six months. The method is sufficiently promising to merit further clinical investigation.
