Abstract:
We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to obtain a more precise estimate of the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPU) versus placebo on the acceleration of fracture healing in skeletally mature persons and to determine if any serious adverse events are associated with LIPU when used to accelerate fracture healing.
