Synopsis
28 patients (30 fractures) with open tibial fractures or high-energy-induced complex tibial fractures were randomized after surgery to undergo low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation therapy or sham treatment. The purpose was to compare short-term clinical and radiological outcomes between groups. Patients treated with LIPUS had significantly earlier tenderness relief, full weight-bear...
