Stimulation of bone tissue by bipolar direct electric current of 20 microamperes and less than 1 volt, associated with bone external fixation was used in 29 patients presenting with different bone lesions. In all cases, the coadjuvant role of electricity in the process of consolidation was demonstrated. The time period in wich healing of various lesions was achieved was found to be inferior to that achieved when using only external fisation in interfragment osteosynthesis.
