    Summary

    Dynamic interferential current (DIC) accelerates bone healing and enhances fracture callus mineralization after osteotomy in sheep. This therapeutic approach shows promise for improving fracture repair outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Bone healing is a complex biological process crucial for recovery after fractures.
    • Osteotomy, a surgical procedure involving bone cutting, requires effective strategies to promote union.
    • Dynamic interferential current (DIC) is a therapeutic modality with potential applications in tissue regeneration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of dynamic interferential current (DIC) on bone healing following osteotomy.
    • To evaluate the influence of DIC on callus formation and mineralization.
    • To determine the reactive changes in bone healing induced by DIC.

    Main Methods:

    • Osteotomy was performed on the radius and ulna of 34 sheep.
    • Unstable fixation with a gap was created to simulate challenging fracture conditions.

  • 24 sheep received DIC treatment (3 times/week, 10 mins) at varying mA-values; 10 served as controls.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical, radiological, histological, and chemical analyses were conducted.
    • DIC application was found to accelerate callus formation.
    • Fracture callus in DIC-treated animals exhibited enhanced mineralization.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic interferential current (DIC) positively influences bone healing after osteotomy.
    • DIC treatment promotes accelerated and more robust callus formation.
    • The findings suggest DIC as a potential therapeutic tool for improving fracture repair.
