Effects of PEMF on patients with osteoarthritis: Results of a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.

This study aimed to evaluate effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in a double blind study on patients with knee joint osteoarthritis. The MAGCELL ARTHRO electrode-less therapy delivered a sinusoidal magnetic field, varying in frequency between 4 and 12 Hz. In 1 cm tissue depth, magnetic flux density was 105 mT.

Thirty-five years of follow-up of anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees in high-level athletes.

Purpose: The incidence and progression of osteoarthritis over a time period of 35 years following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) disruption in high-level athletes has not been clearly determined. Our study examined this.

Type Of Study: Retrospective cohort clinical study.
