ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for promoting healing of injured tissue, such as fractured bone, with interacting electric current and a magnetic flux field. Electrodes are adhesively attached to the skin adjacent the injured tissue. One or more coil assemblies normally spaced from the electrodes are located adjacent the tissue in alignment with the fractured bone. A current generator electrically connected to the electrodes operates to provide electric current pulses to the electrodes. A field generator electrically connected to the coil assemblies is operable to energize the coil assemblies to produce magnetic field pulses. The pulse generator and field generator are electrically coupled to maintain the electrode current pulses and magnetic field pulses in fixed phase relationship to produce a net current in the region of the fractured bone and generally perpendicular to the plane of the fracture.
