title: [Clinical experiences in supplementary treatment of pseudarthroses using electromagnetic potentials].
abstract: In 22 cases of pseudarthrosis following fractures of the limbs, 5 osteotomies and one fresh fracture of the lower leg postoperative treatment with the electro-magnetic alternating field according to Kraus/Lechner was performed in addition to osteosynthesis. Except in one unsuccessful case all patients showed a complete and obviously even quicker osseous bridging. Especially in preoperated and problem-cases such as pseudarthrosis of the femoral neck and defect-pseudarthrosis with inflammation of the tibia this method provided an additional success.
