Computational modeling of bone and bone remodeling 265
following the changes of exercise and pose, and traumatic bone atrophy
and related prevention and treatment; (b) to study the mechanisms of
osteoporosis and osteophyte; (c) to simulate bone structure and inves-
tigate stress shielding following implantation (internal/external xa-
tion, arti cial joint, etc.), as well as design the implants; (d) to simulate
changes of bone structure caused by orthopedic surgery and choose the
optimal scenario. In general, it can provide some theoretical basis for
fundamentally understanding the relationship between bone structure
and its mechanical environment. Moreover, it also serves as an impor-
tant guideline for bone culture in tissue engineering ...
