ABSTRACT
Although promotional impacts upon the healing of the bone of the static electro-magnetic fields (PEMF) were well demonstrated, static magnetic fields (SMF) effects had stayed unclear. The effects of a specially constructed magnetic wrap on the histological and radiographic features of bone healing using a femoral rabbit model with an unstable osteotomy space and an implant have been investigated in the current work. After avian bone implantation and mid shaft femorus osteotomy, bone healing has been evaluated within a 22-days-period in control rabbits (n = 5) and the rabbits that have been exposed to the SMF (300 gauss) (n = 5). The healing of the bones has been assessed through the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the serial radiographs each couple of weeks. The histopathological study has been carried out as well on the osteotomized femor upon the completion of experimental time. The radiographic recovery of the osteotomy sites was significantly improved in the rabbits that had been subjected to the SMF. When comparing to the controls, the SMF group’s cellular morphology ratings were significantly higher (P 0.050). These findings showed that using the osteotomy gap model with SMF enhanced the histological and radiographic features of rabbit bone healing. Rabbits that were under the risk of the delayed fracture healing could take advantage of treatments with the SMF.
