Abstract
Interpretation. The preliminary findings suggested for the first time that low intensity pulsed ultrasound treatment resulted in the enhancement of the matrix hardness in new bone, fibrocartilage, cartilaginous metaplasia, and healing tendon at the healing bone-tendon junction. These findings can be extrapolated into clinical practice, i.e. the more rapid healing induced by low intensity pulsed ultrasound, the earlier mobilization of the affected joint. The beneficial effects on prevention of the musculoskeletal deterioration resulting from the prolonged immobilization would be therefore expected.
