Abstract:Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of Low Magnitude High Frequency Vibration (LMHFV) on nonunion tibial fractures, noninvasively.
Methods: The Experimental (n=5) and control (n=5) groups were age-matched and pooled based on the Nonunion Tibia Score System (NUSS) (p>0.05). LMHFV (0.35g, 50 Hz, 20 minutes x 4/day) was applied to the experimental group for three months by a mechanical stimulator that we developed using a ‘clamp method’. The control group was followed during… Show more
