Gradient mechanical environments modulate intra-osteonal fluid flow: a three-dimensional finite element study
The gradient boundary condition approach effectively quantifies the differential and synergistic effects of mechanical load, structural constraint, and vascular pressure on the osteonal fluid environment. These findings provide a quantitative framework for understanding mechanotransduction in bone and may inform clinical strategies for managing bone adaptation and disease.
