Abstract:Background: One of the widespread indications for using magnet therapy is impaired bone union or an attempt to accelerate the physiological process of osteogenesis. However, it must be noticed that the practical use of magnetic fields in patients after bone fractures overtakes clear clinical recommendations and indisputable scientific evidence.Aims: This article attempts to estimate the current state of knowledge on the effectiveness of magnetotherapy in the claimed range of injuries to the movement system.
