It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.

What does a bone stimulator do in does it work?

A bone stimulator is a medical device used to promote bone healing by delivering low-level electrical or ultrasound energy to the fracture site. By stimulating the cells responsible for bone formation, it can accelerate the healing process in certain types of fractures. While results vary depending on the specific injury and individual patient factors, bone stimulators have been shown to be effective in aiding in the healing of non-healing fractures or those at risk of delayed healing.


Explain how calcitonin and triiodothyroninne work together to meet the genetically determined maximum height at which an individual will grow during a growth spurt?

Calcitonin and triiodothyronine are hormones that regulate bone growth. Calcitonin lowers blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown, while triiodothyronine stimulates bone growth. Together, they help maintain proper bone density and growth during a growth spurt, keeping the individual within their genetically determined maximum height potential.


What does normal bone growth depend on?

What cells build bone tissue?

In bone, there are osteoblasts (cells which build bone) and osteoclasts (cells which break down bone). In the bone marrow and spongy bone, there are hematopoietic cells (cells which make blood). Bone is a type of connective tissue that is made of specialized cells that all work together for a common function. Their cellular and extracellular matrix is what makes bone cells so unique.
