Non-union following long bone fractures is a cause of significant morbidity to the patient. The management of this condition has proved difficult for the orthopaedic surgeon. Much research has been carried out on the use of electromagnetic stimulation in the healing of non-union.
The objective of this review is to determine what evidence exists to support electromagnetic stimulation in the management of established non-union of long bone fractures.
A systematic search was carried out of the peer-reviewed English language literature to identify all studies investigating electromagnetic stimulation in the treatment of non-union of fractures of long bones.
Three of the articles reviewed were randomised clinical trials. Forty-six other studies were also included in the review.
There is a consensus that electromagnetic stimulation is an effective adjunct to conventional therapy when used in the management of non-union of long bone fractures.
长骨骨折后骨不连是患者严重发病的一个原因。对于骨科医生而言,这种病症的治疗已被证明具有挑战性。关于电磁刺激在骨不连愈合中的应用,已经开展了大量研究。
本综述的目的是确定有哪些证据支持电磁刺激用于治疗已确诊的长骨骨折骨不连。
对经过同行评审的英文文献进行系统检索,以识别所有研究电磁刺激治疗长骨骨折骨不连的研究。
所综述的文章中有3篇为随机临床试验。另有46项研究也被纳入该综述。
人们达成的共识是,电磁刺激用于治疗长骨骨折骨不连时,是传统治疗的一种有效辅助手段。
