Ultrasound and shockwave therapy for acute fractures in adults

Henry Searle, Sharon R Lewis, Conor Coyle, Matthew Welch et al.

Short summary

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) likely makes little to no difference in delayed or non-union of acute fractures, with very low to moderate certainty evidence. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ECSW) shows uncertain effects on pain and non-union.
