Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
On the study group patients, LIPUS therapy (1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm2) will be performed on 4, 8, 14, and 20 days postoperatively, for 20 minutes using an ultrasound unit. Postoperative examinations will be performed on 5 days to assess pain. Fracture healing will be assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) performed at 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Timepoint: On the study group patients, LIPUS therapy (1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm2) will be performed on 4, 8, 14, and 20 days postoperatively, for 20 minutes using an ultrasound unit. Postoperative examinations will be performed on 5 days to assess pain. Fracture healing will be assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) performed at 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively.—
