Effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on fracture healing in rat femural fractures with intact and excised periosteum.

CONCLUSION: According to our findings, ESWT can be used to improve fracture healing and prevent pseudoarthrosis in the treatment of open fractures with accompanying soft tissue and periosteum damage. However, further clinical studies are required to include ESWT in routine practice. PMID: 25413461 [PubMed - in process]
