dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on the formation of callus in bone defects created in rabbit radii. This study searches for an answer to whether ESWT may have a therapeutic effect on bone defects. A bone defect with a radius of 1 cm was created in both forelimbs of 20 rabbits. At the 7th, 14th, and 21st days ESWT treatment was applied to the forming callus in the right radius under fluoroscopic control. At the 6th and 12th weeks, the animals were sacrificed and callus analysis was performed by computerized scan, dual energy x-ray absorptiometer. Histological analyses were also performed. The results revealed that the average callus area in the right (ESWT applied) radial defect was greater in both groups and statistically significant at the 12th week (p < 0.05). There was no difference in bone density between defects. Histologically the callus area was greater on the right side (ESWT applied side) in both groups. However in the first group trabeculae were occupying less space on the right side. Granulation tissue areas and chondroid areas were greater on the right side. We conclude that ESWT has a disorganizing and dispersing rather than a direct osteoinductive effect on forming callus. This effect may play a therapeutic role in bone defects and in situations like callus lengthening where a greater amount of callus is necessary.en_US
