Explanation:

METHODS: 36 placebo and 35 verum test persons (all with a knee gap smaller than 3 mm) were exposed daily for 16 minutes over 6 weeks to a low frequency magnetic field (flux densities increasing gradually from 3.4 up to 13.6 microT) encompassing the whole body.

The device was finally tested in a cadaver experiment by an experienced surgeon. After a tibial precut of about 6 mm, the device
was installed in the knee gap. In order to verify the consistency
between the device measurements and the surgeon’s perception,
the net varus-valgus moment was measured during a
ligamentrelease procedure.

back of the knee


Explanation:
How is thrombolysis performed?
You will be lying on an x-ray table. In most patients, the radiology doctor will pass a small tube, also known as a catheter, into the vein behind the knee (popliteal vein). Before he does this, he will turn you onto your stomach and clean the area behind the knee with antiseptic solution.
