Electrical stimulation has been used as treatment for nonunions of fractures since the early 1950s, with a reported success rate of 80-85%. We report a case of nonunion of a tibial fracture below a revised total knee prosthesis treated with a capacitively coupled electrical field. After 3 months of treatment, consolidation of this difficult fracture was evident with abundant callus formation.
自20世纪50年代初以来,电刺激已被用作骨折不愈合的治疗方法,据报道成功率为80%至85%。我们报告一例经修订的全膝关节置换术后胫骨骨折不愈合病例,采用电容耦合电场治疗。经过3个月的治疗,可见大量骨痂形成,这一难治性骨折实现了骨愈合。
