Abstract
During the last two decades, the use of ELF magnetic and electric fields to stimulate bone growth and repair knew an increasing interest and its approach evolves from empirical to experimental methods.
“... when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind.” Lord Kelvin (1891)
