Portable Bone Growth Stimulator, an Emerging Device in Orthopedic Treatment

 

A bone growth stimulator (BGS), also known as a bone stimulator, has been a popular choice in orthopedic treatment for more than thirty years. A bone stimulator can help increase bone mass and improve bone strength and density. It can help speed bone healing after a bone fracture, helping you get back to normal daily activities sooner. In Japan, Ito Co., Ltd. is a major producer of BGS. Its OSTEOTRON IV is portable ultrasound bone growth stimulator with 2 output channels.

There are various ways to treat non-union, some of them include surgical, external or internal fixation, bone grafting, or the application of bio-identical bone growth stimulator. The least invasive, and also the oldest, option is a portable medical device known as a bone stimulator. Bone stimulator devices are very portable and can be used while you are at home, or while you are traveling - a great way to try out different options before committing to one orthopedic treatment option.

When a bone growth stimulator is used in conjunction with an orthopedic surgery to fix a bone fracture, it can speed up the rate of bone healing. The reason that BGS is such a great choice for those who have bone-related injuries is that they can be used on any part of the body - even though they are meant for fixing fractures. In fact, bone growth stimulation can actually help bone injuries heal faster than non-union ones. It can also be used to strengthen weak bones. If a bone is not healing correctly, it may be due to weak connective tissue. By strengthening that tissue and putting BGS into place, you can speed up the healing process, and increase your bone strength.

Another great aspect of BGS is that it is not invasive, meaning that it does not require incisions, which can be both painful and dangerous. In fact, there have been very few reported incidences of bone healing using BGS, even though it is considered non-invasive. Because of this, more people are turning to orthopedic surgery when they need orthopedic treatments, as opposed to regular doctor visits. Orthopedic surgery, including bone healing techniques such as BGS, is a very safe procedure. This is particularly true in the case of young children who need orthopedic care but are generally too young to get surgery yet.

However, BGS is not for all types of bone problems. The bone growth stimulator will not work very well if the bone in question is decayed, has already broken, or is extremely fragile. The bone growth stimulator will not work at all if the patient has any type of infection or foreign body lodged in their bone. It is important, therefore, to discuss the uses for the bone stimulator with your doctor or orthopedic surgeon before you decide whether or not to get one. While BGS is a great option for many patients, it's important to know that it may not be suitable for some bone problems.
