COMBINED MAGNETIC FIELDS PROVIDE ROBUST COVERAGE FOR INTERBODY AND POSTEROLATERAL LUMBAR SPINAL

“ SIMULATIONS OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD CONFIRMED COMPLETE AND TARGETED COVERAGE ”
SUMMARY: The purpose of this study was to model the therapeutic field associated with a bone growth stimulator utilizing the DJO ® Spinalogic ® device. Simulations of the magnetic field confirmed complete and targeted coverage of the bone graft volumes for both interbody and posterolateral spinal fusion sites. In addition, the electric field was several orders of magnitude less than any reported study demonstrating a biological effect. Given its clinical effectiveness, a CMF ™ bone growth stimulator must rely on the combined magnetic fields activity, rather than its electric field, for a therapeutic effect.
