✦ Synopsis
The effect of capacitively coupled electrical stimulation on the healing of midshaft transverse osteotomies of the rabbit fibula is assessed roentgenographically, mechanically, and histologically. The results show that a dose-response curve for capacitive coupling and fracture healing exists and that a 220 mV, 250 PA, 60 kHz applied electrical signal (0.33 Vkm internal electric field) is the most effective signal for fracture stimulation in this model.
