Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of pulsing magnetic field (PMF) on the osteogenesis of the distracted region in cosmetic limb lengthening, and to search for an effective therapeutic method for promoting the recovery of the cosmetic patient. Methods Thirty adult short stature volunteers for cosmetic heightening were randomly divided into PMF group and control group, 15 in each group. Magnetic stimulation was given to the PMF group on the day after operation. X-ray examination was taken on fixed interval, and lengthening index was used for bone healing evaluation. Results The height increase ranged from 5～9 cm, mean (6.6?1.2) cm, and the mean lengthening rate was 19.2 % : 5～8 cm (6.2?1.1) cm in the PMF group and 5.2～9 cm (6.8?1.6)cm in the control group ( P
