ABSTRACT
The clinical application of the electrical stimulation, lasting several weeks, for the callus formation is reported in 11 patients. Bipolar rectangular pulse sequences were used for the stimulation at a frequency of 1 Hz and a current intensity of +/-20mu amp. The electrical stimulation was successfully employed after distraction osteotomies with a KDA-apparatus in shortening of the leg provoked by different causes or in the treatment of pseudarthroses. The realignment of the newly formed callus and the osseous consolidation are stimulated and speeded up by the bipolar rectangular pulse sequences as it is also shown in the light of the roentgenograms of a case.
