Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Fracture Healing Device

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been investigated as a technique to accelerate healing of fresh fractures, surgically treated closed fractures, delayed unions, nonunions, stress fractures, osteotomy sites, and distraction osteogenesis. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound is administered using a transducer applied to the skin surface overlying the fracture site.
