Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

7.2K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Normal Strain under Axial Loading01:20

Normal Strain under Axial Loading

981
Normal strain under axial loading is an important concept in the field of mechanics of materials. Axial loading implies the application of a force along the axis of a material, like a column or bar. This force can either compress or stretch the material. In the context of axial loading, normal strain is the deformation experienced by the material in the direction of the loading force. It's calculated as the change in length divided by the original length of the material. This unitless ratio...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity01:15

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

448
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

39.9K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

15.5K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain01:29

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain

487
Three-dimensional strain analysis is crucial for understanding how materials deform under stress, particularly in elastic, homogeneous materials. This method employs principal stress axes to simplify complex stress states into more understandable forms. Subjected to stress, a small cubic element within a material either expands or contracts along these axes, transforming into a rectangular parallelepiped. This transformation effectively illustrates the material's deformation. The principal...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Materials Science
  • Orthopedic Research

Background:

  • Bone fractures result from exceeding material and tissue strain limits.
  • Understanding failure sites requires knowledge of strain distribution at the sub-trabecular level.
  • Previous studies may underestimate tissue-level strain thresholds in trabecular bone.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the 3D strain distribution and evolution during loading at the sub-trabecular level in human trabecular bone.
  • To compare strain levels in undamaged regions versus those near developing cracks.
  • To assess the impact of image resolution on strain measurement and crack path analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Human cadaver trabecular bone samples were compressed to failure.
  • High-resolution synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography was used for in situ imaging.
  • Digital volume correlation determined sub-trabecular strains.

Main Results:

  • Local strains near developing cracks were significantly higher than previously reported for whole structures.
  • Strain magnitudes near cracks were similar to those found in single isolated trabeculae.
  • Lower image voxel size and higher resolution were crucial for capturing detailed crack paths and accurate strain levels.
  • Reduced trabecular thickness was identified as a potential predictor of crack development.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms high strain magnitudes in whole trabecular structures, extending findings from single trabeculae.
  • High-resolution imaging is essential for accurate assessment of bone fracture mechanics at the sub-trabecular level.
  • Low trabecular thickness may predispose bone to fracture.
