Healing was obtained in 21 fractures with delayed union or pseudarthrosis by stimulation of the bone with electromagnetic waves. The interest of this method lies in a number of factors: the apparatus Centicure is miniaturized and very easy to handle; the daily treatment is performed by the patient himself; and application may be split, allowing normal and even professional activity. The method requires no immobilization nor surgical electrode implantation, the cost of the treatment is low and the apparatus can be used for several patients. Bone healing was seen in 15 cases of the 19 reviewed after a brief treatment period. Stimulation by means of magnetic fields, on the other hand, has obvious drawbacks, including high costs.
通过电磁波刺激，21例延迟愈合或假关节骨折实现了愈合。该方法的优势体现在多个方面：Centicure仪器小型化且操作简便；日常治疗可由患者自行进行；治疗应用可分开进行，不影响正常甚至职业活动。该方法无需固定，也无需植入手术电极，治疗成本低，且仪器可供多名患者使用。在19例接受评估的患者中，经过短疗程治疗后，有15例实现了骨愈合。另一方面，磁场刺激存在明显缺点，包括成本高昂。
