[Electric stimulation as a method of acceleration of healing of crural bone fractures]

Having used the method of electrostimulation of the fracture site with direct current of 10--50 mA in patients with crural fractures, the authors noted a more rapid callus formation. The latter is supported by clinical data and roentgenograms. The method results in shortening of the terms of recovery in patients treated conservatively and surgically. It is believed that this method may be recommended for a wider clinical use in crural fractures.
