Abstract
Fracture healing prediction using electric simulation has gained attraction by orthopedic surgeons in recent years. The present study aims at development of mathematical correlation of capacitance model on parameters such as Resistance (conductance) and duration for tibia fractured limb patients treated under DC electric stimulation. Model parameters performances were evaluated using linear regression method. The dependence of model on Resistance(conductance) and duration is demonstrated using simple mathematical correlation. Moreover, the effect of model on diagnosing of fracture healing is explained using the electrical data recorded across 32 different tibia fracture patients whose fracture site was stabilized using Teflon coated rings and a DC input voltage of 0.7V was applied via K-wires. All groups of tibia fracture patients under dc electric stimulation exhibit a regular pattern of conductance and capacitance was inferred in this study. The steep fall in conductance and capacitance after an initial irregularity reaching the lowest level indicated the healing of fracture is the novelty of the work. The 32 patients were classified into 4 group's namely fresh presentation, presentation after a medium delay, presentation after a long delay and facture with gap. The data was subjected to linear regression analysis and R2 validation which exhibited minimum Standard Error (SE).
