AAOS: Definitive trial on impact of ultrasound in treatment of tibial fractures feasible .
Trial to evaluate ultrasound in the treatment of tibial fractures (TRUST): A pilot study
Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Busse speaking on the impact of ultrasound treatment for tibial shaft fractures.
51 patients with operatively treated tibial shaft fractures were randomized to either receive low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) or treatment with a deactivated LIPUS device, to determine what the possibility of a definitive trial would be on assessing the impact of LIPUS on patient outcomes.
