✦ Synopsis

Endochondral ossification is a basic physiological process in limb development and is central to bone repair and linear growth. Factors which regulate endochondral ossification include several biophysical and biochemical agents and are of interest from clinical and biological perspectives. One of these agents, electric stimulation, has been shown to result in enhanced synthesis of extracellular matrix, calcification, and bone formation in a number of experimental systems and is the subject of this review. The effects of electric stimulation have been studied in embryonic limb rudiments, growth plates, and experimental endochondral ossification induced with decalcified bone matrix and, in all these models, endochondral ossification has been enhanced. It is not known definitively whether electric fields stimulate cell differentiation or modulate an increased number of molecules synthesized by committed cell population and this is a fertile area of current study. , 1993 WiIey-Liss, Inc

## Abstract Endochondral growth and ossification, the processes by which cartilage increases in size and is replaced by bone, are affected by biological factors such as intrinsic genetic makeup and systemic chemical agents. In addition, these processes are affected by epigenetic mechanical factors:

## Abstract The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on bone loss associated with disuse was investigated by applying 1.5 Hz repetitions of 30 ms bursts of asymmetric pulses, varying from +2.5 to βˆ’135 mV, to bones deprived of their normal functional loading.
