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 UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
