Abstract：
:Ninety-two patients with congenital pseudoarthrosis (infantile nonunion) were treated with pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in the United States and Europe in the past eight years. This represents the largest group of patients with infantile nonunions in which a common treatment modality has been used. Excluding the ten lesions (11%) which healed with refracture 48 lesions (59%) healed whereas 34 (41%) failed to heal. The success rate in 23 type I and 34 Type II lesions was 77% and 76%, respectively. Surgery in association with PEMF treatment did not improve the results of treatment. The most important variable was the radiographic morphology of the nonunion gap. Patients with spindled bone ends, a large gap and a grossly mobile lesion had a very poor prognosis relative to patients with a cystic or sclerotic transverse fracture line with a gap of less than 5 mm. The key to success in the treatment of infantile nonunions has been the combination of PEMF treatment with good orthopedic management, consisting of rigid immobilization, a nonweight-bearing status and rehabilitation with impact loading exercise. Infantile nonunion remains a major challenge to the orthopedic surgeon, but PEMFs appear to offer some important advantages for overcoming this pernicious condition. Dr. Harold Boyd's discussion of this paper follows. It was his final address to the AAOS.
