Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effect
of Electro-Acupuncture (EA) and Static Magnetic Field (SMF)
therapy on healing of bone defect in rabbits.
Materials and Methods: A 2 mm bone defect was created at
radial midshaft of 18 New Zealand White rabbits. The animals were
then randomly divided into 3 equal groups. The animals in the
group A did not receive any physiotherapy and served as control.
Group B animals were treated with the EA using 50 Hz and 3-10 mA
DD current for 10 min. Group C animals were treated with SMF
therapy on alternate days till day 15. Activity of serum calcium
(Ca), potassium (P) and ALP; Plasma Cortisol and LPO were
evaluated preoperatively and on days 7, 15, 30 and 60 of
experiment.
Results: Postoperatively, SMF therapy treated animals
exhibited higher Ca, P and ALP level and low initial level of
Cortisol and LPO as compared to EA and control group animal.
Conclusion: SMF and EA had positive effect on bone defect
healing and early resolution of stress, induced due to creation of
bone defect, however SMF had an edge over EA.
Keywords: bone defect healing, electro acupuncture, static
magnetic field.
