Abstract
Rabbits with a fibular ostectomy were exposed for 28 days to magnetic fields that satisfied the ion resonance conditions for calcium or magnesium. The rabbits were exposed to whole body treatment for 1/2 hour, 3 hours, or 24 hours per day. The fibulae from the experimental and control animals were removed surgically and were subjected to force-deflection testing to establish the stiffness of the healed fracture. The fibulae from the rabbits exposed to the ion resonance magnetic fields were found to be 55-299% (p < 0.01) more robust than the fibulae from the control animals.Entities:
