Hello,
I am a fan of this forum and I wonder why there is no topic about Bone Growth Stimulators?
I am no expert but I am curious about alternative methods to LL. Since stem cells to re open the growth plate might not be here in the next years,
maybe it's worth to take a look on Bone Growth Stimulators.
Based on this site

https://industrytoday.co.uk/market-research-industry-today/bone-growth-stimulators-market-emerging-technologies-and-innovations#

there is a growing market for Bone Growth Stimulators with these different fundamental fields:

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) Therapy:

One of the remarkable advancements in bone growth stimulation is the use of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy. LIPUS devices utilize focused sound waves to stimulate bone healing and regeneration. These portable, non-invasive devices have shown promising results in accelerating fracture healing, reducing pain, and improving patient outcomes.

Combined Magnetic Field (CMF) Therapy:

Combined Magnetic Field (CMF) therapy is another exciting innovation in the field of bone growth stimulators. These devices employ a combination of low-intensity pulsed electromagnetic fields and pulsed radiofrequency energy to stimulate bone healing. CMF therapy has shown effectiveness in promoting bone fusion, particularly in challenging cases such as non-unions and delayed unions.

Implantable Bone Growth Stimulators:

Implantable bone growth stimulators represent a significant advancement in the field. These devices are surgically implanted near the fracture site or affected bone, delivering localized stimulation directly to the area in need. Implantable stimulators offer the advantage of continuous and targeted stimulation, promoting faster and more efficient bone healing.

3D Printing Technology:

The integration of 3D printing technology has transformed various industries, including healthcare. In the context of bone growth stimulators, 3D printing enables the production of customized devices tailored to the patient's anatomy. Personalized bone growth stimulators can optimize contact with the affected area, ensuring better treatment outcomes and patient comfort.

Smart Bone Growth Stimulators:

The advent of smart technologies has opened up new possibilities in the field of bone growth stimulation. Smart bone growth stimulators incorporate sensors and connectivity features to provide real-time monitoring and data collection. These devices can track treatment progress, adjust stimulation parameters, and transmit data to healthcare professionals, facilitating personalized care and remote patient monitoring.

Bioactive Materials and Nanotechnology:

The use of bioactive materials and nanotechnology in bone growth stimulators has gained significant attention. Incorporating bioactive substances, such as growth factors or stem cells, into the device's structure can enhance the regenerative properties and accelerate bone healing. Nanotechnology-based coatings on the surface of bone growth stimulators can also improve biocompatibility and provide controlled release of therapeutic agents.

What do you guys think about this topic, since technology grows so fast?
