Article Description

To stimulate the process of bone healing, several methods have been used previously. These methods include use of ultrasound, electrical stimulation, exposure to electromagnetic field, bone graft, interporous hydroxyapatite (as a bone graft substitute). The aim of this study was evaluation of bone-defect healing with autogenous bone marrow concurrent with static magnetic field. Twenty adolescents, 2-kg-weighing, white New Zealand male rabbits were used in this study. In the control group (n = 10) mid-radii bone defect was created and filled with harvested bone marrow. In the experimental group (n = 10) the procedure was similar to control group with static magnetic application over the bone-defect area. Radiological, histopathological and evaluations were performed blindly and results scored and analyzed statistically. The results show those experimental groups were superior to control group in radiological and histological evaluation. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2008.
