This study aims to investigate the effects of low-intensity ultrasound on endochondral ossification using fetal mouse metatarsal rudiments.
Forty-six triplets of paired 17-day-old fetal mouse metatarsal rudiments were cultured for 7 days.
Metatarsal rudiments were treated with low-intensity ultrasound stimulation (30 mw/cm2).
Measurements included the total length and the length of the calcified diaphysis at days 1, 3, 5, and 7.
The length of the calcified diaphysis in ultrasound-treated rudiments was significantly greater (530 +/- 120 microm) compared to controls (180 +/- 30 microm, P = 0.006).
Total length of metatarsal rudiments showed no significant change due to ultrasound treatment.
Histological analysis confirmed healthy conditions in both ultrasound-treated and control rudiments.
