Hi John,

The lower pulse rate and frequency, while it does vibrate the bone matrix, it has more of an anti inflammatory effect.

It’s quite obvious that your vet believes that the fracture to heal correctly requires a more inflammatory treatment, and I do agree with him/her that this is the preferred treatment for most fractures, especially for something like a fractured fibula that has started remodeling without knitting properly.

The only thing I would suggest is that you cut the treatment time down to 30 minutes instead of 40 as too much inflammatory treatment is not a good thing either.

Cheers,
Tom
