Finite Element Study of the Effect of Osteon Morphology Variation Related Ageing, Osteoporosis, or Physical Activity Level on Its Poroelastic Behaviors
Abstract:The alterations of osteon morphology were caused by many factors, such as age, osteoporosis, and physical activity level. It is known that fluid flow in osteon play an important role in osteocyte mechanotransduction and hard tissue health, but less is known about these alterations of osteon morphology affect the response of fluid flow. This study aims at using poroelastic finite element analysis to investigate whether these variations of osteon morphology caused by ageing, osteoporosis, or physical activity le… Show more
