Simulation of Adaptive Bone Remodeling with Abaqus/Standard
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Healthy bones adapt to mechanical stimulus in a process known as bone remodeling. More specifically, the apparent density of bone tissue is directly related to the load it bears over time. For example, after long periods in a microgravity environment astronauts experience a loss of bone density because of skeletal unloading, while most professional tennis players experience a gain of bone density in their playing arm because of the repetitive loading applied over many years.

Connecting Mechanics and Bone Cell Activities in the Bone Remodeling Process: An Integrated Finite Element Modeling
Bone adaptation occurs as a response to external loadings and involves bone resorption by osteoclasts followed by the formation of new bone by osteoblasts. It is directly triggered by the transduction phase by osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix. The bone remodeling process is governed by the interactions between osteoblasts and osteoclasts through the expression of several autocrine and...

Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...

The adaptive bone remodeling phenomenon in the femur before and after prosthetic total hip joint replacement (THR) was investigated using the three dimensional finite element method. A normal hip joint model which composed of the proximal femur and the pelvic bone including femoral head and acetabular was constructed three-dimensionally by our method reported previously. The simulation model wa...

Shoulder arthroplasty success has been attributed to many factors including, bone quality, soft tissue balancing, surgeon experience, and implant design. Improved long-term success is primarily limited by glenoid implant loosening. Prosthesis design examines materials and shape and determines whether the design should withstand a lifetime of use. Finite element (FE) analyses have been extensive...
متن کاملSimulation of adaptive bone remodeling by using cellular automata
In this study, a new computer simulation model of the bone remodeling adapting to mechanical environment by using the cellular automata is proposed. Finiteelements of FEM are further subdivided into smaller cells which are stated as bone tissue, bone cell or empty space. States of the cells are changed automatically by a set of rules as similar as bone remodeling rules. While the set of rules i...
