Are there any benefits! If not you do not need to assess the risks as you do
not use it. sorry to be so cynical

Subject: Pulsed Shortwave and metalwork : any risk?
>
>Hello! I'm a fellow physiotherapist following up an Evidence Based
>Practice project, for which there proved to be very little evidence. My
>topic was to investigate the safety of using Pulsed Shortwave therapy on
>tissues in which there is underlying metalwork. (Joint replacement, pins
>or plates.)
>A secondary question arose after the presentation : Would there be any
>risk to the bonding of prosthetic cement if PSWT were to be used?
>
>If you have any ideas or information, with, or without, supporting
>literature (although I would prefer "with" if possible),please let me
>know.
