I would agree that most orthopedic surgeons don't know much about PEMF wearable therapy as an aid to surgery recovery. I could not even find any reference to PEMF therapy on the JIS Orthopedics website. Prove me wrong please.

Here is a relatively recent clinical trial (2016) published on PUBMED and focused on WEARABLE PEMF therapy. It tested "the effectiveness of a wearable pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) device in the management of pain in knee OA patients." It was a "randomized [with equal randomization (1:1)], double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, patients with radiographic evidence of knee OA and persistent pain higher than 40 mm on the visual analog scale (VAS) were recruited. The trial consisted of 12 h daily treatment for 1 month in 60 knee OA patients. The primary outcome measure was the reduction in pain intensity, assessed through VAS and WOMAC scores. Secondary outcomes included quality of life assessment through the 36-item Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form version 2 (SF-36 v2), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and changes in intake of NSAIDs/analgesics."

The conclusion? "These results suggest that PEMF therapy is effective for pain management in knee OA patients and also affects pain threshold and physical functioning. Future larger studies, including head-to-head studies comparing PEMF therapy with standard pharmacological approaches in OA, are warranted."
