Computational Study on Trabecular Bone Remodeling in Human Femur under Reduced Weight-bearing Conditions

Trabecular bone structure is determined by a balance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption, which is regulated partly by osteocytes according to their mechanical environments. There have been a number of studies on bone remodeling in response to mechanical stimuli, mai...
