This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) at different frequencies during knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Ten‐week‐old male wild‐type (WT) mice undergoing the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery were randomly divided into four groups (...
