Excerpt

Fractures cause considerable morbidity and often result in pain, loss of function, and decreased productivity [8]. Delayed union and nonunion complicate approximately 5% to 10% of fractures and often require further surgical or nonsurgical intervention [7]. A number of adjunct methods have been proposed to accelerate fracture healing, including low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). …
