[Low-intensity impulse suprasonic stimulation of osteogenesis for bone fractures and nearthrosis in ambulance
Abstract:
The author tried to draw attention of orthopaedic traumatologists to effective innovative technology--low-intensity impulse suprasonic stimulation of osteogenesis for fractures of bones and nearthrosis not only in outpatient, but also in in-patient departments. Mechanisms of the given methodic are described. It is showed that after the treatment fracture union signs that can be diagnosed by radiology are registered: from mild periosteal union to the signs of central callus formation and its remodeling. Amount of sessions in case of delayed hip fracture union (osteosynthesis)--50; delayed crus fracture union and nearthrosis--from 40 to 45 sessions; shoulder nearthrosis--40 sessions. The author came to conclusion that it is necessary to study mechanisms of osteogenesis and homeostasis of other tissues. That will help to change treatment programme for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and traumas, for functional recovery and improvement of quality of life.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
