Abstract

Jonathan Rosenblum, Sean Rosenblum and Andy Karpf

Fractures are among the most common injuries we come across. Following is one such case that presents and optional way of fracture healing at a decreased time to fracture union and increased fracture union rate through the use of ultrasonic waves. Reported here are cases of 6 where healing was continued using low intensity low frequency ultrasound diathermy patch for the treatment of metatarsal fracture.
