Bone Remodeling Process: Mechanics, Biology, and Numerical Modeling
provides a literature review. The first part of the book discusses
bones in a normal physiological condition, bringing together the
involved actors and factors reported over the past two decades, and
the second discusses pathological conditions, highlighting the
attack vectors of each bone disease. The third part is devoted to
the mathematical descriptions of bone remodeling, formulated to
develop models able to provide information that is not amenable to
direct measurement, while the last part focuses on models using the
finite element method in investigating bone biomechanics. This book
creates an overall image of the complex communication network
established between the diverse remodeling actors, based on
overwhelming control evidence revealed over recent years, as well
as visualizes the remodeling defects and possible treatments in
each case. It also regroups the models allowing readers to analyze
and assess bone mechanical and biological properties. This book
details the cellular mechanisms allowing the bone to adapt its
microarchitecture to the requirements of the human body, which is
the main issue in bone biology and presents the evolution of
mathematical modeling used in a bone computer simulation.
