    Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on histomorphometric and radiographic evaluation and bone mineral density of fracture model that were created in rats. The study plan: In this study, 14 female young-adult Wistar albino rats that were weighing from 250 to 300 g were used. A closed fracture was created in the tibia of all rats with the guillotine device. 8 rats in the first group underwent 15 sessions of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy at a dose of 15 millitesla/30 minutes a day, whereas 6 rats in the second group were not given any treatment. At the end of 15 sessions of treatment, digital mammographic examination, bone mineral density measurement and histomorphometric evaluation of the fracture area of the rats in the second group were performed. Results: Although there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups after 15 sessions of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy at a dose of 15 millitesla/30 minutes a day, the outcomes of fracture healing were better in the group that received pulsed electromagnetic field therapy than the control group according to radiological score, bone mineral density measurement and histomorphometric evaluation. CONCLUSION: Pulsed electromagnetic field is thought to contribute to the healing of fractures.
