The effect of impact on the marrow pressure of long bones in vitro
Journal of Biomechanics
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Intact fresh sheep tibiae were subjected to non-destructive impact loads while maintained in an environment like that encountered in life. Under a maximum load of 2.5 k N, and loading rate of 500N ms-1, marrow pressures no higher than 50 k Pa were recorded. Such low pressures would provide only a trivial amount of hydraulic strengthening, and are consistent with results from other workers carried out at lower rates of loading.

01:40Bone Remodeling
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.
01:29Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...
