Is low-intensity pulsed ultrasound effective in treatment of tibial nonunion?
Abstract: Background: Nonunions have been mainly treated with invasive methods by adequate mechanical stability and provision of biological environment leading to bone healing rate of 68%-96%, however, with inherent risks and complications. As an alternative to surgical interventions, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a biophysical method has been emerged. We aimed to prospectively compare the clinical and functional outcomes between two groups treated with LIPUS and capacitively coupled electric fields (CCEFs) for …

Safe zones for external fixation in the tibia: A cadaveric study
Abstract: AbstractPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the neurovascular structures and the tibia, by measuring the distances from the tibia to the surrounding neurovascular structures and angles at which the neurovascular structures course around the tibia. Materials and Methods: Ten fresh adult cadavers(5 men, 5 women), which had been donated to the Human anatomy department, were obtained within 72h of death, providing 20 lower extremity …
