Low‐Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Treatment at an Early Osteoarthritis Stage Protects Rabbit Cartilage From Damage via the Integrin/Focal Adhesion Kinase/Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathway

Abstract

Our findings indicate that low-intensity pulsed US protects cartilage from damage in early-stage osteoarthritis via the integrin/FAK/MAPK pathway.
