Abstract
The exact impact that shock wave impart to different
musculoskeletal tissues is not understood completely. Relative to
stone disintegration, the shock wave presumably cause high stress
forces on the stone surface by the high pressure amplitude and the
short rise time, thus exceeding the elastic strength of the stone and
disintegrating its surface.
The value of shock wave treatment was proven in the treatment of
patients with fracture nonunions with a 60% success rate and there
was a positive effect in patients with tennis elbow, painful heel,
and calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder.
