摘要:Repeated x-rays are required to confirm healing of fractures. Clinical assessment is also difficult in patients treated with Ilizaro rings. Electrical stimulation was earlier tried to speed the fracture union whereas it has not been tried as a method to diagnose healing of fracture. In this study we have tried electric stimulation as a method to monitor fracture healing. There is a comparative group followed with traditional method of x-rays and clinical assessment only.
