Bone Healing Monitoring in Bone Lengthening Using Bioimpedance

Figure 1

Flow diagram of the study: one week after osteotomy, the two bone segments were distracted for 10 days (1 mm per day). The bone’s electrical impedance was measured three times (before, after, and every week following osteotomy). Weekly radiographs and electrical impedance tests were done after the distraction. It depicts the process flow of the current study.
