Abstract

Studies in an experimental group of 10 mongrel dogs addressed the stimulation of tibial defect filling by terahertz electromagnetic irradiation using an Orbita EHF therapy apparatus. Animals of the control group (n = 6) did not undergo this physical treatment procedure. These studies demonstrated stimulation of bone repair, apparent as inhibition of osteolytic processes leading to a significant (p = 0.017) decrease in the time to union in dogs of the experimental group.
