Abstract:
Many basic and clinical studies have showed that through a variety of biological and biophysical mechanisms, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound improves the fracture healing and provides an ideal repairing environment.Thus,it can not only accelerate the healing of fractures,but also enhance the healing rates;not only accelerate the healing of fresh fractures, but also the healing of delayed unions and nonunions.This review elaborates on the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on the healing of fractures,its mechanisms and its prospective applications.
