Key Points

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of noninvasive low magnitude high frequency vibration applied via a custom clamp method on bone healing in nonunion tibial fractures.
Assigned 10 age-matched patients pooled by the Nonunion Tibia Score System to an experimental group (n=5) or a routine treatment control group (n=5).
Delivered low magnitude high frequency vibration (0.35g, 50 Hz, 20 minutes four times daily) to the experimental group for three months using a clamp-based mechanical stimulator.
Evaluated outcomes at baseline and three months using the Radiographic Union Score for Tibial Fractures (RUST) and the American Orthopedics Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS).
Observed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in overall RUST and total AOFAS scores at baseline or after three months (p>0.05).
Found no statistically significant change in pain and function AOFAS subscores in the control group across the three-month period (p>0.05).
Demonstrated statistically significant within-group increases in pain relief and functional AOFAS subscores in the experimental vibration group after three months.
