low intensity pulsed ultrasound(English)

• has gained much attention as a potential noninvasive adjunctive therapy for accelerating fresh fracture healing. The waves administered induce micromechanical stress in the fracture site, culminating in the stimulation of various molecular and cellular responses involved in fracture healing. The beneficial osteogenic and angiogenic effects observed after administration are largely nonthermal (< 1°C), and rather mechanical in nature. The operating parameters used to achieve these benefits include a 30-mW/cm2 intensity, 1.5-MHz frequency repeated at 1 kHz, and a pulse width of 200 μs administered for 20 minutes each day
