Journal
From The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
In this study,12 60 patients with fresh radius fractures used either EXOGEN or a placebo device for 10 weeks. EXOGEN users had a significantly shorter time to union, with acceleration demonstrated at every stage of healing.

From The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
This study2 demonstrates the efficacy of the EXOGEN bone healing system. Healing time for fresh fractures* “was found to be significantly accelerated” when EXOGEN was applied for 20 minutes a day, with 94% of the fractures in the EXOGEN group healed after 150 days.

Journal
From Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
This study11 finds that smokers with indicated* tibia and radius fractures heal faster when using EXOGEN — 41% faster for tibia fractures and 51% faster for distal radius fractures.

Journal
From BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
In the first Level-I study15 regarding non-union* heal rates, 51 patients with tibia delayed unions were treated with EXOGEN. Mean improvement in their bone mineral density was 1.34 times greater than that of patients who received sham device treatment.
*Delayed union has a non-union definition.

From Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology
In this study,16 67 non-union* fractures were treated with EXOGEN. After daily 20-minute treatments, 85% of the non-union* cases were healed.

*Summary of Indications for Use: The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of established non-unions† excluding skull and vertebra.
In addition, EXOGEN is indicated for accelerating the time to a healed fracture for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures and fresh, closed or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopaedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization.
There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN device. Safety and effectiveness has not been established for individuals lacking skeletal maturity; pregnant or nursing women; patients with cardiac pacemakers; on fractures due to bone cancer; or on patients with poor blood circulation or clotting problems. Some patients may be sensitive to the ultrasound gel. Full prescribing information can be found in product labeling, at www.exogen.com or by contacting customer service at 1-800-836-4080.
†A non-union is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing.
