Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy promotes osteochondral regeneration of knee joints in rabbits. [PDF]

Exp Ther Med, 2018
Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has been proven to be effective for nonunion fractures. It was, thus, hypothesized that it may be used as a supplement therapy to promote osteochondral regeneration when combined with a scaffold previously prepared by our research group.
