[Ultrasound effects on lipid peroxidation in the liver and erythrocytes in experimental post-traumatic osteoarthrosis].

We studied low frequency ultrasound effects on lipid peroxidation in the liver and erythrocytes of rabbits with experimental posttraumatic osteoarthrosis induced by transchondrial damage of the medial condyle of the right femoral bone (2 mm in diameter and 1 cm in depth in the direction of the medullar canal). Prior to treatment, rabbits with experimental osteoarthrosis had enhanced lipid peroxidation in the liver and erythrocytes. Ultrasound normalizes the above disorders in lipid peroxidation.
