Clinical Information
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) osteogenesis stimulation is a safe, nonsurgical,
prescription treatment to heal nonunion fractures and promote spinal fusion.
Electrical currents have been used to heal bones since the mid -1800s. However, it
wasn't until the 1950s that scientists made an important discovery. When human
bone is bent or broken, it generates an electrical field. This low-level electrical field
activates the body's own repair mechanism which, in turn, stimulates bone healing.
Orthofix PEMF osteogenesis stimulators generate a uniform, low-level, pulsed
electromagnetic field similar to the electrical field generated by the body. The
application of PEMF directly to the fracture site helps activate and augment the body's
natural healing process to enhance bone fusion. Thank you for including Orthofix in
your healing process. To learn more about osteogenesis stimulation, please visit our

Clinical Success of the PhysioStim Device
The PhysioStim device has been proven safe and effective in clinical studies. In
a prospective, multicenter, controlled clinical study for nonunion fractures, an
overall success rate of 80% was demonstrated among 126 patients (135 nonunion
fractures) who averaged 3 or greater hours of daily treatment. The average duration
of nonunion in these difficult fractures was 2.6 years, with an average of two prior
surgical procedures per fracture. The success rate of the PhysioStim device treatment
for nonunion repair demonstrated no statistically significant change over long-term
(four year) follow-up.
