Abstract
Exogenous electromagnetic fields (EMFs) affect bone metabolism, but the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are unclear. Pulsed EMFs (PEMFs) can be effective in the management of congenital pseudarthrosis or delayed union or non-union of fractures. We investigated the effects of PEMFs used in clinical practice on human osteoblast cultures.
