EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE LITHOTRIPSY;

The Professional Medical Journal, 2008
Treatment of renal stone is always a challenge. High incidence ofrecurrence of renal stone compels the treating physician to opt for minimally invasive treatment. With the advent of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy the treatment has been completely revolutionized.

The effect of shockwaves on mature and healing cortical bone [PDF]

, 1994
It has been proposed that high energy shockwaves could be used to create microfractures in cortical bone. This quality might be exploited clinically to perform closed osteotomies and promote healing in nonunion (15).
