ABSTRACT: Trabecular bone is a complex random network of interconnected rods and plates. Its
trabecular structure is constantly remodeling to dynamically adapt to stresses induced by external loading.
In a previous study we presented a BMU-germ-grain model of a trabecular surface remodeling simulation
where type and orientation ...
