A pulse signal generator (14) for generating a single pulse to be applied to a pair of coils (12, 13) to induce a current in bone (11) for the promotion of osteosynthesis in the healing of non-union bone fractures. The generated pulse consisting of two portions the first of which is greater in amplitude and lesser in duration than the second to be applied to the patient at a frequency of 6-30Hz. The application of the pulses in the indicated manner acting to enhance mineralization (mineral and collagen) in bone, without deleterious effects on the mytotic index, while also avoiding proteoglycan suppression in cartilage. |
