|November 1, 1981
Abstract:
In 319 patients suffering from septic and noninfected pseudarthroses, bone consolidation has been achieved in 93.6% by a cancellous bone graft plus a semi-invasive method of electrostimulation of nonunion using low frequency A.C. potentials, i.e., the electrodynamic procedure. By inductively coupled electromagnetic fields, the potentials are produced in inductable implants. There are no contraindications for the procedure and no side effects.
