Fracture healing in the rabbit fibula when subjected to various capacitively coupled electrical fields

The effect of capacitively coupled electrical stimulation on the healing of midshaft transverse osteotomies of the rabbit fibula is assessed roentgenographically, mechanically, and histologically. The results show that a dose‐response curve for capacitive coupling and fracture healing exists and tha...

Zusammenfassung:	The effect of capacitively coupled electrical stimulation on the healing of midshaft transverse osteotomies of the rabbit fibula is assessed roentgenographically, mechanically, and histologically. The results show that a dose‐response curve for capacitive coupling and fracture healing exists and that a 220 mV, 250 μA, 60 kHz applied electrical signal (0.33 V/cm internal electric field) is the most effective signal for fracture stimulation in this model.
