Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the potential influence of low frequency, low intensity magnetic fields (rectangular pulse, 5 mT, 30 Hz) applied in therapy on the temperature, contact electric potential, and magnetization in knee endoprosthesis, which might be dangerous for implantation and stability of knee prosthesis, and later slacking it off, causing postoperative complications. The experimental investigation was carried out on a knee endoprosthesis which had been placed in a container with physiological saline. The prosthesis located inside the container was under the exposure of the magnetic field applied by a solenoid. The results indicated that magnetic fields did not influence thermal and electromagnetic properties of knee endoprosthesis in vitro. The magnetic fields of examined parameters should not be dangerous for implantation and stability of knee endoprosthesis. |
