Objective: The aim of current study was to determine the resonance frequency of collagen and to investigate the influence of electromagnetic at resonance frequency on the process of healing of induced ligament tear. Subjects: Ten, 3 months old healthy male New Zealand White rabbits, weighting from 1.5 to 2 Kg were used in this study. The rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups: (the normal group) include 5 rabbits with intact medial collateral ligament of the left side of control group as reference, (the control group) included 5 rabbits with second degree medial collateral ligament injury of the right side, received daily care of wound and (the experimental group) included 5 rabbits with second degree medial collateral ligament injury of the right side, received electromagnetic waves with daily care of wound. Methods: Dielectric measurement for determining collagen resonance frequency, electromagnetic waves of 1.7 MHz for treatment of 2 degree medial collateral ligament injury and histological evaluation performed
