Bassett et al. were the first to employ magnetic fields to promote fracture healing in a non-invasive and safe manner. Camilleri and McDonald investigated the effect of a static magnetic field using a Neodymium Iron-Boron magnet placed over a skull suture on a rat model and discovered that the mitotic activity of the cells was affected. Bruce et al. demonstrated that stimulation wi...
