An Analysis of the Association between Electric Parameters Recorded Across the Fractured Limbs and Configurations of the Bone Fracture.

摘要

ABSTRACT This prospective study was done in 32 fractures or bone defects of tibia. After fracture debridement, Ilizarov external fixator with Teflon coated carbon rings were applied in consenting patients. DC voltage is applied to the K- wires passed through the bone above and below the fracture site in steps of 0.1 V and the current is recorded for each step voltages (0.1, 0.2....1.0 V). The current was plotted in a graph versus the days of treatment and simultaneously compared with alongside .
