Abstract
Callus comprises the intermediate stage in the healing of a fracture toward soundness. The detection of healthy callus tissue in a fracture treated with ultrasound forms the basis for proving the stimulatory efect of ultrasound. To furnish this proof, the following investigations were performed:
-
Radiographic studies
-
Strength tests
-
Histologic studies, scanning electron microscopy
-
Bone scintigraphy
-
Angiographic studies
-
Biochemical studies
-
Total mineral analysis
-
Sequential polychrome labeling
-
Temperature measurements
-
Summary of findings
