PEMF DEVICE SUCCESSFULLY IMPROVES WOUND HEALING
Patient DW was injured whilst kicking a football on 10 July 2020. The ball hit the end of the right index finger forcing the middle bone through the flesh and skin at the metacarpophalangeal joint (knuckle).
Immediately attending the emergency department at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) finger was assessed and patient was admitted that day for surgery the next day 11 July 2020
Surgery involved the re-dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint (knuckle), cleaning out of the joint and stitching the broken flesh together.
Patient was advised that the type of injury would mean no football for a minimum of 6 weeks and 6-12 months for the finger to return to its pre- injury condition.
Patient DW started using his Oska Pulse immediately after the injury on a continuous basis for the first 4 weeks and then reduced usage to twice a day.
