Figure 5. Anteroposterior (A–F) and lateral (G–L) radiographs of the right knee taken immediately after the onset of the knee pain, and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 8 months, and 1 year after initiation of LIPUS therapy. Obvious callus formation around the fracture site was observed at 3 and 6 months after treatment (arrows). After 1 year, remodeling of the fracture callus was complete. LIPUS, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound; M, months.
