ABSTRACT:
Bony ingrowth adjacent a surface of a prosthetic device is provided by positioning an emitting surface of an ultrasonic applicator adjacent a skin location corresponding to an interface between bone tissue and an artificial prosthetic device located inside the body. Ultrasound is created and transmitted from the emitting surface into the body at the skin location toward at least a portion of the interface. The ultrasound is modulated to induce shear waves of acoustic energy within the bone adjacent the portion of the interface. The shear waves promote bony ingrowth at the portion of the interface.
