Description
This scientific paper explores the use of Pulsed Magnetic Field (PEMF) as a therapeutic modality in the treatment of fractures, with a special focus on its application in elderly patients. It addresses the growing incidence of fractures in the geriatric population, the risk factors that may contraindicate traditional surgical interventions, and the complex physical and biological mechanisms by which PEMF acts to promote bone healing. The detailed analysis of the scientific evidence aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the potential of PEMF as a safe and effective alternative, contributing to the optimization of treatment strategies and improvement of patients' quality of life.
