Executive Summary
Orthofix International is funding a trial that will seek to define the molecular and cellular mechanisms of action of its PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) technology in stimulating bone growth. The Huntersville, North Carolina firm has given around $2 million to the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation as part of a four-year collaboration for the study, which will be conducted at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, in Ohio. Orthofix plans to expand application of the PEMF platform from bone growth stimulation to other diseases and injuries.
