[Stimulation of longitudinal growth of long bones through electrical current. Scintigraphic examinations on ribbit tibiae].

Abstract

Report on szintigraphical examinations using 87-mSr in young rabbits treated by direct current of different intensity varying from 2.5 to 40 micro-Ampère. The current was applicated to one tibia using the other as comparison. Corresponding to the realised growth-increase by electric stimulation there was found an increased uptake of 87m-Sr in the electro-stimulated tibia in all 16 rabbits.
