Book Synopsis Stimulation of Fracture Healing with Ultrasound by : Hans-Georg Knoch
Download or read book Stimulation of Fracture Healing with Ultrasound written by Hans-Georg Knoch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every bone fracture must be held rigid and, because of the long healing process, infringes on the individual's life-style. Treatment with ultrasound, however, may reduce the healing time 30-50% since the piezoelectric effect of ultrasound acts as a callus stimulator. This book documents more than twenty years of clinical experience with ultrasound treatment of fractures. The authors give statistical evidence and show numerous X-rays to document their success. They also include a summary of experimental studies. The method is described in detail so that the practicing physician can easily learn how to apply it.

Book Synopsis Bone Quantitative Ultrasound by : Pascal Laugier
Download or read book Bone Quantitative Ultrasound written by Pascal Laugier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many significant achievements in new ultrasound technologies to measure bone and models to elucidate the interaction and the propagation of ultrasonic waves in complex bone structures have been reported over the past ten years. Impaired bone remodeling affects not only the trabecular compartment but also the cortical one. Despite the crucial contribution of the cortical structure to the whole bone mechanical competence, cortical bone was understudied for a long time. A paradigm shift occurred around 2010, with a special focus placed on the importance of cortical bone. This has sparkled a great deal of interest in new ultrasound techniques to assess cortical bone. While our book ‘Bone Quantitative Ultrasound’ published in 2011 emphasized techniques to measure trabecular bone, this new book is devoted for a large part to the technologies introduced recently to measure cortical bone. These include resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, guided waves, scattering, and pulse-echo and tomography imaging techniques. Instrumentation, signal processing techniques and models used are detailed. Importantly, the data accumulated in recent years such as anisotropic stiffness, elastic engineering moduli, compression and shear wave speeds of cortical bones from various skeletal sites are presented comprehensively. A few chapters deal with the recent developments achieved in quantitative ultrasound of trabecular bone. These include (i) scattering-based approaches and their application to measure skeletal sites such as the spine and proximal femur and (ii) approaches exploiting the poro-elastic nature of bone. While bone fragility and osteoporosis are still the main motivation for developing bone QUS, this Book also includes chapters reporting ultrasound techniques developed for other applications of high interest such as 3-D imaging of the spine, assessment of implant stability and transcranial brain imaging. This book, together with the book ‘Bone Quantitative Ultrasound’ published in 2011 will provide a comprehensive overview of the methods and principles used in bone quantitative ultrasound and will be a benchmark for all novice or experienced researchers in the field. The book will offer recent experimental results and theoretical concepts developed so far and would be intended for researchers, graduate or undergraduate students, engineers, and clinicians who are involved in the field. The book should be considered as a complement to the first book publisher in 2011, rather than a second edition, in the sense that basic notions already presented in the first book are not repeated.
Book Synopsis Low Intensity Ultrasound Treatment for Acceleration of Bone Fracture Healing by : Medical Services Advisory Committee, MSAC
Download or read book Low Intensity Ultrasound Treatment for Acceleration of Bone Fracture Healing written by Medical Services Advisory Committee, MSAC and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarises the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of Exogen TM bone growth stimulator, a low-intensity ultrasound treatment (LIUS) for the acceleradon of bone healing, on the basis of the currently available evidence. The use of LIUS as a home-based therapy for tibial, distal radius and scaphoid fresh fractures and fracture non-union is considered in the context of the Australian healthcare setting. The intervention appears safe for use in adults on the basis of available evidence and clinical experience to date. However, LIUS should not be used prior to skeletal maturation. The use of LIUS in patients with pacemakers is contraindicated. On the basis of the evidence currently available, it is not possible to conclude that LIUS is consistently more efficacious than other treatments of fresh fractures. We identified only two high quality, randomised, placebo-controlled studies conducted in distal radius and tibial fractures, respectively. The results these studies are contradictory. With respect to the treatment of fractures exhibiting non-union, only poorly controlled patient registry or case series data are currently available. The cost-effectiveness of LIUS in each of the indications reviewed in the assessment does not compare favourably with a range of other common healthcare interventions. MSAC recommended that on the basis of the evidence available on low intensity ultrasound treatment for acceleration of bone fracture healing, public funding should not be supported for this procedure.

Book Synopsis Ultrasound in Bone Fractures by : Christiano B. Machado
Download or read book Ultrasound in Bone Fractures written by Christiano B. Machado and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone is a complex and specialised connective tissue, with a degree of elasticity even with a high concentration of mineralised components in the extracellular space. After a fracture event, an acute response takes place with a molecular signalling cascade for bone induction, called fracture healing. This phenomenon represents a multistage repair process with a well defined temporal and spatial sequence, and it can lead to severe complications such as non-unions, delayed unions, and infections, whose treatment represents important negative consequences for patients and a socio-economic burden, particularly due to the high costs in health care. Besides the conventional X-rays and more recently computed tomography, ultrasound techniques have been proposed to evaluate and monitor fracture regeneration. On the other hand, recent studies show that ultrasound stimulation can be considered as a therapeutic tool for the enhancement of bone fracture healing. Therefore, ultrasound has a twofold perspective for bone fracture healing: therapy and diagnosis/follow-up. This book is intended to give an overview of the field and consists of chapters detailing theoretical and experimental aspects of the interaction phenomena between ultrasound waves and bone. It was prepared for medical doctors, physical therapists and other health professionals, biomedical engineers and ultrasound researchers, and it shows recent findings on the application of ultrasound in clinical diagnosis (ultrasound imaging and quantitative ultrasound) and therapy for fractures. The basics of bone histology, mechanics and regeneration are presented, as well as an introduction to ultrasound physics, giving more insight for the comprehension of the several mechanisms involved.

Book Synopsis Physical Principles of Medical Ultrasonics by : C. R. Hill
Download or read book Physical Principles of Medical Ultrasonics written by C. R. Hill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical properties of ultrasound, particularly its highly directional beam behaviour, and its complex interactions with human tissues, have led to its becoming a vitally important tool in both investigative and interventional medicine, and one that still has much exciting potential. This new edition of a well-received book treats the phenomenon of ultrasound in the context of medical and biological applications, systematically discussing fundamental physical principles and concepts. Rather than focusing on earlier treatments, based largely on the simplifications of geometrical acoustics, this book examines concepts of wave acoustics, introducing them in the very first chapter. Practical implications of these concepts are explored, first the generation and nature of acoustic fields, and then their formal descriptions and measurement. Real tissues attenuate and scatter ultrasound in ways that have interesting relationships to their physical chemistry, and the book includes coverage of these topics. Physical Principles of Medical Ultrasonics also includes critical accounts and discussions of the wide variety of diagnostic and investigative applications of ultrasound that are now becoming available in medicine and biology. The book also encompasses the biophysics of ultrasound, its practical applications to therapeutic and surgical objectives, and its implications in questions of hazards to both patient and operator.
Book Synopsis Ultrasound as a Physical Force for Scaffold-based Bone Repair by : James D Veronick
Download or read book Ultrasound as a Physical Force for Scaffold-based Bone Repair written by James D Veronick and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-invasive, transcutaneous low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy has shown clinical efficacy in bone healing for over the past two decades; however, the exact mechanism of action remains largely unknown. The goal of this work was to find more conclusive evidence as to how LIPUS works in addition to optimizing the currently used clinical therapy. We developed and characterized our own highly tunable ultrasound system as well as a hydrogel scaffold system for tissue mimetics. A series of experiments evaluated the response of our adjustable ultrasound system to: cells alone; hydrogels alone; cell-hydrogel encapsulation; and cell-hydrogel encapsulation implantation into a mouse calvarial model. By characterizing our tunable ultrasound system with a needle hydrophone, we found that the clinical LIPUS parameter produces a measurable acoustic radiation force previously only recognized in higher intensity ultrasound modalities. Given that bone responds positively to physical forces, we have attempted to relate the documented benefit of LIPUS therapy in bone healing to acoustic radiation forces as a likely candidate for LIPUS efficacy. Through our adjustable LIPUS system and the development of collagen hydrogel scaffolds, we demonstrated that varying LIPUS intensity and duty cycle results in the manifestation of varying physical loads. These loads ultimately lead to the quantifiable deformation of collagen hydrogel scaffolds through the displacement of fluorescent beacons encapsulated within the hydrogels. By application of acoustic radiation force, pre-osteoblast cell-encapsulated hydrogels experienced varied osteogenic response from the clinical intensity of LIPUS based on their collagen concentration. Also, the exposure of cell-hydrogel constructs to ultrasound resulted in the varied upregulation of certain markers indicative of mechanical stress, based on LIPUS intensity and hydrogel collagen concentration. As fractures are typically immobilized during the fracture healing process, local bone cells receive limited beneficial physical loading. To this end, we used a mouse calvarial defect model to encapsulate donor bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) within a collagen hydrogel at the defect site to physically load cells during the fracture healing process in hopes to enhance the currently used clinical LIPUS therapy.
