This work deals with the results obtained by four French orthopaedic departments using the electromagnetic field stimulation for non union treatment. This is the method established by A. Bassett. 37 cases are studied, the results are known for 35 of them with 6 failures and 29 successes. The failures can be explained for four of them by a bad application of the device. Concerning the 29 successful cases, the role of the stimulation is discussed. Discarding those who have been treated a short time after a surgical procedure, those who have been immobilized more than 6 months and those where the non union could have been a delayed union, it remains 14 successful cases apparently undisputable. For them the role of the electromagnetic field stimulation seems real.
这项工作涉及四个法国骨科部门使用电磁场刺激治疗骨不连所取得的结果。这是A. 巴塞特建立的方法。共研究了37例病例，其中35例的结果已知，有6例失败，29例成功。其中4例失败可归因于设备应用不当。对于29例成功病例，讨论了刺激的作用。排除那些在手术后不久就接受治疗的病例、那些固定超过6个月的病例以及那些骨不连可能是延迟愈合的病例后，仍有14例成功病例显然无可争议。对于这些病例，电磁场刺激的作用似乎是真实的。
