The study was performed on 10 New Zealand white rabbits 6 months old and weighing 3.0 to 4.5 kg so as to evaluate the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TES) on the right radialfracture healing. A piece of 0. 5 cm full thickness of right midshaft of radial bone was removed in allrabbits under general anesthesia. They were divided into two groups (control and experimental) of 5rabbits each. No treatment was given to control group, whereas experimental rabbits were subjected toTES. Radiographs were taken from all rabbits before surgery and on 15, 30 and 45 days. The callus samplewas collected from the exact defected part on 45 days that was fixed and was stained with H&Emethod for histomorphological interpretation. Clinically there was faster skin wound healing inexperimental rabbits as compared to the control group. Radiographical interpretation revealed periostealreaction on 15 days and callus formation was much more on 30 and 45 days/ in experimental one ascompared to control group. In experimental group there was the least cartilaginous and fibrotic tissueswith thick bony trabeculae formation. It was concluded that TES has got positive effect on skin woundhealing besides accelerating callus formation at the site of radial defect with early restoration of full limbfunction. |
