Abstract: Microcracks have been associated with age-related bone tissue fragility and fractures. The objective of this study was to develop a simple osteonal cortical bone model and apply linear elastic ...

Abstract: Nonlinear viscoelastic analysis was used to characterize the time-dependent behavior of mesenchymal gap tissue generated during distraction osteogenesis. Six (n = 6) lengthened tibiae were harvested ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of bone–patellar tendon–bone autograft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on the surface strain of the human patella. ...

Abstract: A bilateral New Zealand white rabbit model of distraction osteogenesis (DO) was used to investigate the relationship between strain environment and bone regeneration during limb lengthening. In ...
