Article Synopsis
- Low-magnitude, high-frequency mechanical signals were tested for their ability to enhance fracture healing in sheep tibiae.
- The study compared control groups with rigid external fixation to experimental groups receiving daily mechanical loading using a "smart" material, resulting in significantly improved healing outcomes.
- Findings showed that minor mechanical displacements greatly increased stiffness, strength, size, and bone mineral content in the experimental group, highlighting the importance of mechanical factors in fracture healing.
