title: The compared effect of a four-coiled system in pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation.
abstract: A clinical trial of 21 cases was conducted to evaluate the effects of a pulsed magnetic field on pseudoarthroses. Nineteen out of 21 cases had successful results; the remaining 2 failed to respond. Two-coiled and four-coiled systems were used in this study. It was concluded that the four coiled system is more effective in spite of its practical disadvantages and larger size.
