Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to summarize the clinical and
basic science methods used to assess fracture healing and propose a framework to improve …

The difference in stiffness of a patient's bone and bone implant causes stress shielding.
Thus, implants which match the stiffness of bone of the patient result in better bone growth …

Bone is a nonlinear, inhomogeneous and anisotropic material. To predict the behavior of
bones expert systems are employed to reduce the computational cost and to enhance the …

The hierarchical nature of bone makes it a difficult material to fully comprehend. The equine
third metacarpal (MC3) bone experiences nonuniform surface strains, which are a measure …

The stress-shielding effect can be minimized by using porous materials with pre-determined
implant stiffness. This study aims to design interconnected porous metal implants that …

This paper reports on an investigation into the relationship between stiffness and applied
force of an advanced biological composite structure using four techniques: experimental …

Distal radial fractures exhibit various fracture patterns. By assuming that the strain
distribution at the distal radius affects the diversification of the fracture pattern, a parameter …

Simple Summary Early detection of racehorses at risk of stress fracture is key to reducing the
number of horses with catastrophic fractures while racing. Bone changes are often visible in …

The use of small ruminants, mainly sheep and goats, is increasing in biomedical research.
Small ruminants are a desirable animal model due to their human-like anatomy and …

Shape is a key factor in influencing mechanical responses of bones. Considered to be smart
viscoelastic and inhomogeneous materials, bones are stimulated to change shape (model …
