- This was a great question from a runner enrolled in the metatarsal stress fracture course. She wanted to know whether or not a bone stimulator would really be helpful.
Can a bone stimulator help a stress fracture?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast. - Спорт
I am using one for a non-union stress femur fracture due to xlh. I wonder if it will help at this point… Tyfs
Super helpful vid!
Thanks so much for watching and I am glad you found it helpful!
Which stimulater was it? Does it have a timer to stop working?
My last 4 breaks have been delayed union and I have to wait 4 months each time to get a stimulator 🙄. I’ll buy a used one. Which one doesn’t have a “stop working timer”?
I’ve started using mine for my non Union wrist fracture that has not healed for one year, been using this given to me from the hospital for one week and need to use it everyday for 200 days
That's awesome..thank you for sharing!
Did it work?
@@oscarm.4078 yeah good question
Yes did it work?
Eventually yes I would say its worth it @@stephaniekilleen5753
Do you usually recommend crutches for a metatarsal stress fracture? Wondering cause the video. I have a 3mm one at the base of my 5th metatarsal
Thank you for watching! I don't "usually" recommend anything, based only on a diagnosis. Instead, I think it is much better to assess the individual's goals and stage of injury to determine what is best given the runner's unique situation.
Is it possible to increase the size of the wrist bones...??
Silica as miraculous for rebuilding and making bones stronger.
Any tips for faster healing of heel fracture between end of arch and beginning of heel?
Hello Belinda, Than you for watching! I would be happy to offer tips, but would need meed more specific detail to offer any advice. I always do one hour consultations with athletes in situations like yours. If you would like to block my calendar so we can discuss it in detail you can certainly do so here. www.docontherun.com/talk-to-the-expert/
Hi Belinda. I fractured my heel too. My fracture was done due to osteoporosis.
Then I’ve been having trouble with my other ankle.
Those DJO bone stimulator is programmed to be used for 270 treatment then it expires , single pt use only because of the limitations the federal government put on it. I really want to get a used one for my poor relative who does not live in the US and had a revision ORiF on the mid humerus.
Thanks for watching and for adding your comments!
I was told the bone stimulator expires after 12 months of use.
DO MEN W/ THEIR LARGER BONES HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES WITH THE USE OF A BONE STIMULATOR THAN WOMEN WHO USE THEM? I have a 3rd metatarsal fracture and am in a boot for 4-6 weeks, UGH. Anything that may speed up healing is SO attractive. Can a woman who has used a bone stimulator please comment! Thanks
When the doctor told you that you needed a boot for 4-6 weeks, did you ask if a bone stimulator would help in your case?
