Bone Mineral Density and Fracture
The Plot Thickens: The Bones Thin
New Use(s)? Thigh bone connected to the blood stream Flexibility, strength and balance Custom models
Both Ends against the Middle Argument for Impact: Mechanical stress activates osteocytes Argument against Impact: Trauma initiates chondral degeneration
Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis Impact a must. –Mechanoreceptors: Impact a must. Osteoporosis No Impact. –Chondral Damage: No Impact.
Osteoporosis vs Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis Impact a must. –Mechanoreceptors: Impact a must. Osteoporosis No Impact. –Chondral Damage: No Impact.
