TLDR
Tetracycline labeling of these animals suggest that a strong relationship exists between the altered stress field and the distribution of bone remodeling induced by plate application, and that the midshaft stress distributions at a particular instant of time during the stance phase of the gait cycle were calculated.About:

Who's afraid of the big bad Wolff?: "Wolff's law" and bone functional adaptation.
TL;DR: While the bone morphological response to mechanical strains is reduced in adults relative to juveniles, claims that adult morphology reflects only juvenile loadings are greatly exaggerated, and traditional geometric parameters still give the best available estimates of in vivo mechanical competence.

A survey of finite element analysis in orthopedic biomechanics : the first decade
Rik Huiskes,E.Y.S. Chao +1 more
TL;DR: The finite element method was introduced to orthopedic biomechanics in 1972 to evaluate stresses in human bones and has been applied with increasing frequency for stress analyses of bone and bone-prosthesis structures, fracture fixation devices and various kinds of tissues other than bone.

Osteoregulatory nature of mechanical stimuli: Function as a determinant for adaptive remodeling in bone
Clinton T. Rubin,Lance E. Lanyon +1 more
TL;DR: The results of this study would suggest that adaptive bone remodeling is extremely sensitive to alterations in both the magnitude and distribution of the strain generated within the bone tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical loading histories and cortical bone remodeling.
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is presented for understanding and investigating structural adaptation of cortical bone and it is suggested that two (or more) complementary control systems may be involved in the regulation of bone mass by bone cyclic strain histories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of muscle forces on femoral strain distribution
TL;DR: The importance of an ensemble of muscle forces to reproduce a physiological strain distribution in the femur is demonstrated by using a finite element model to calculate stresses and strains of a femur with all thigh muscle and joint contact forces.

TL;DR: There was no correlation between the mean principal compressive strain and either age or weight in normal animals over the three-month time span of the experiment, and the increased level of strain in the radius caused by ulnar ostectomy resulted in a rapid and substantial remodeling response in theradius.

Effects on intact femora of dogs of the application and removal of metal plates. A metabolic and structural study comparing stiffer and more flexible plates.
TL;DR: A significant reduction in the osteoporosis was obtained by use of the more flexible plates, and recovery after plate removal was predominantly the result of endosteal new-bone formation.

TL;DR: The experimental results suggest that cortical bone remodels according to functional stress demands, and the osteoporosis secondary to rigid plate protection is consequent to thinking of its cortex.
