Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy has demonstrated clinical effectiveness in achieving union in a variety of fracture situations.Few studies have investigated the effectiveness of LIPUS therapy in foot and ankle surgery.The overall rate of union in all published studies relating to the use of LIPUS in a variety of foot and ankle fracture and fusion situations is 95%.Some studies suggest lower healing rates (~ 67%) when LIPUS therapy is used to treat hindfoot fusion nonunion.A well-powered, high-quality, randomized controlled trial is needed to demonstrate the clinical and cost effectiveness of LIPUS therapy in foot and ankle surgery.

低强度脉冲超声(LIPUS)疗法已证明在多种骨折情况下促进骨愈合具有临床有效性。很少有研究调查LIPUS疗法在足踝外科手术中的有效性。所有已发表的关于在各种足踝骨折和融合情况下使用LIPUS的研究中,总体骨愈合率为95%。一些研究表明,当使用LIPUS疗法治疗后足融合不愈合时,愈合率较低(约67%)。需要进行一项样本量充足、高质量的随机对照试验,以证明LIPUS疗法在足踝外科手术中的临床和成本效益。引用本文:2021;6:217 - 224。DOI:10.1302/2058 - 5241.6.200045。
