Electronic Bone Growth Stimulators for Augmentation of Osteogenesis in In Vitro and In Vivo Models: A Narrative Review of Electrical Stimulation Mechanisms and Device Specifications

Peter J. Nicksic et al.

Summary: Since the discovery of the piezoelectric quality of bone in 1957, scientists have been exploring the use of external electrical stimulation for bone healing. However, electronic bone growth stimulators are not commonly used in clinical settings due to their high cost and lack of faith in their efficacy among clinicians. This narrative review examines preclinical research on electrical stimulation and its effects on bone properties, highlighting the gaps in clinical translation and emphasizing the importance of device specifications and mechanisms of action.

Electrical Stimulation of Acute Fractures: A Narrative Review of Stimulation Protocols and Device Specifications

Peter J. Nicksic et al.

Summary: Electrical stimulation has shown potential for promoting fracture healing, but its efficacy in human trials is inconsistent and not widely accepted. Heterogeneity in device specifications and stimulation protocols, as well as incomplete reporting, hinder the repeatability of studies. Future research should focus on fracture types prone to nonunion, homogenous study populations, and increased scientific rigor. Additionally, reporting key device specifications is crucial for ensuring study repeatability.

Stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion using an Injectrode(R)

Ashley N. Dalrymple et al.

Summary: The study found that the Injectrode can effectively activate primary afferents within the clinical DRG stimulation parameters, with activation thresholds increasing with wider pulse widths. Activation rates decrease with wider pulse widths, and the Injectrode maintains consistent ECAP thresholds over several hours of stimulation.

Augmented Transcutaneous Stimulation Using an Injectable Electrode: A Computational Study

Nishant Verma et al.

Summary: Minimally invasive neuromodulation technologies aim to combine neural selectivity with low-cost and non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation. The Injectrode is a needle-delivered electrode that reduces activation thresholds of deep nerves by serving as a conduit for transcutaneously delivered power. Optimization of energy transfer efficiency is crucial to minimize off-target recruitment of cutaneous fibers. Validation of an electroquasistatic model showed the importance of considering both tissue conductivity and permittivity for understanding transcutaneous power delivery to the Injectrode.
