MD Podiatrist Uses Ultrasound Bone Healing System for Foot Fractures

A medical device that helps to regrow bones has allowed a local woman to recover from a serious and complex broken ankle in just weeks. After using EXOGEN, an ultrasound bone healing system, she recovered from the fracture by the start of June, only eight short weeks after using the Exogen bone stimulator. Her doctor referred her for an appointment to see Dan Michaels, DPM for care and he obtained for her a bone stimulator. 

Dr. Michaels recommended use of the device for his patient, just like he has been doing for a number of his patients for decades. While he has found other devices that also promote bone healing, he has never found one that’s as patient-friendly or effective. Dr. Michaels has found some devices that are much larger and take around 6 to 8 hours to use. “You look at not only the results of how well it works, but also the fact that a lot of patients are only going to use something if it’s easy enough for them,” Dr. Michaels said.
