Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrical bone stimulation is a treatment that applies a low-level electrical current directly to the fracture site. This electrical stimulation is believed to enhance the migration of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are critical cells involved in bone formation and remodeling. By increasing the migration of these cells to the fracture site, the bone healing process can be accelerated, which may help the person recover more quickly from the fracture.
