Enhancing Bone Healing with PEMF Therapy: Insights and Evidence

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy has been extensively investigated for its potential to enhance bone healing, particularly in cases of fractures that are slow to heal or develop into non-unions. Studies demonstrate that low-frequency PEMF therapy significantly improves bone healing and quality of life in subjects with delayed or non-union lower limb fractures, as indicated by improvements in radiological scores, lower extremity functional scores, and pain intensity levels (Binal A Gajjar et al.). Research focusing on early tendon-to-bone healing in a rat model following rotator cuff (RC) repair surgery found that PEMF therapy enhances early postoperative tendon-to-bone healing by improving biomechanical elasticity parameters and collagen organization compared to controls (O. Dolkart et al.).

Similarly, PEMF therapy has been shown to accelerate wound healing and enhance the repairing ability of bone tissue in rats, demonstrating significant improvements in wound healing and bone repair at 5 and 10 mT intensities (Yingxin Liu et al.). Another study explored the use of PEMF therapy for bone repair by activating signaling pathways, modulating ion channels, and regulating gene expression to increase osteoblast activity, which is crucial for bone healing (Aoao Wang et al.). Furthermore, PEMF therapy following rotator cuff repair in rats improved tendon mechanical properties and tissue morphology without altering joint function, highlighting its potential benefits for tendon-to-bone healing (J. J. Tucker et al.).

The mechanisms by which PEMF therapy promotes bone healing include influencing osteoblasts and bone metabolism, thus enhancing tissue integration of implanted devices for better clinical outcomes (Munna Khan et al.). Despite its promising results, PEMF therapy's role as a standardized treatment option for bone healing remains controversial and not fully established, indicating the need for further research and clinical trials to validate its effectiveness (B. Schmidt-Rohlfing et al.).

Overall, the body of evidence supports the potential of PEMF therapy as a beneficial adjunct treatment for accelerating bone repair and enhancing the healing process, especially in challenging cases of delayed healing or non-union fractures. However, the acceptance and standardization of PEMF therapy in clinical practice require more extensive and conclusive studies to fully understand its capabilities and limitations in bone healing applications.
