Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of PEMF in surgical reconstruction of 5th metatarsal non-union fractures.
Primary Outcome
Each patient was assessed radiographically at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks or until radiographic signs of healing were evident. The radiographs were evaluated and graded by the number of cortices (medial and lateral on anteroposterior views as well as dorsal and plantar on lateral views) of healing at each time point. Bridging callus across 4 cortices on postoperative radiographs was used to determine healing.
