Abstract
Effect of electrical stimulation was studied in 18 buffalo calves at 2 phases of healing i.e. at nineth and eighteenth day. The electrical stimulation was achieved by passing 20 microamperes of direct current at the fracture site . The fracture healing was evaluated by radiographic, arterio graphic, macroscopic and histomorphological studies. Radiography failed to demonstrate any difference between the treated and control limbs. On arteriography significant increase in arterial supply was observed in treated limbs as compared to control, which probably may be responsible for acceleration of fracture healing, Historaorphological examination clearly revealed an acceleration in the healing process in treated limbs, when compared to the controls.
