Background To best inform evidence-based patient care, it is often desirable to compare
competing therapies. We performed a network meta-analysis to indirectly compare low …

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasonography (LIPUS) is a form of mechanical
stimulation that is delivered via a special device to the fracture site for the acceleration of …

Objective To determine the efficacy of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) for healing of
fracture or osteotomy. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Medline …

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is frequently used to enhance or to
accelerate fracture-healing, but its clinical role and effectiveness as a treatment modality …

Introduction Bone fractures fail to heal and form nonunions in roughly 5% of cases, with little
expectation of spontaneous healing thereafter. We present a systematic review and meta …

Objective This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to identify the clinical
trials relevant to the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on bone regeneration …

We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to obtain a more precise
estimate of the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPU) versus placebo on the …

Annually, millions of people across the world are inflicted with bone fracture injuries.
Untimely healing is a significant burden in terms of socioeconomic costs, personal costs …

Background: The effect of low-intensity ultrasonography on fracture healing is controversial,
and current management of fractures does not generally involve the use of ultrasound …

Objective: The clinical value of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) for fresh fracture is
known. Yet, in the absence of a definition of what “fresh” is, payers have adopted study …
