Abstract
Exposure to a pulsed electric current during reparative regeneration of bone in rabbits resulted in stimulation of osteogenesis so that it predominated over fibro- and chondrogenesis to a greater degree than inthe control. The degree of mineralization of the microstructures was indistinguishable from the control.
