## Abstract In the United States, over 17 million people are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) with its inherent morbidity of delayed bone healing and nonunion. Recent studies demonstrate the utility of pulsed low‐intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) to facilitate fracture healing. The current s

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Studies with both plant and animal tissues show that, when the tissues contain micron‐sized, stabilized gas bodies, pulsed ultrasound can produce damage at very low time‐averaged intensities. However, it is the temporal peak intensity rather than the time‐averaged intensity that is closely correlated with the effects observed. The data suggest that there may be thresholds for damage at peak intensities within an order of magnitude of 10 W/cm^2^.
