Abstract

RAMIREZ MARTINEZ, Angélica María  and  GARZON-ALVARADO, Diego Alexander. Preliminary electromechanical formulation for bone formation in a remodeling process. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2012, vol.31, n.3, pp.278-289. ISSN 0864-0300.

A bone remodeling model is proposed which takes account of mechanical and electrical stimuli. Under these assumptions, a mass distribution is obtained which depends on mechanical and electrical loads. The paper reveals the importance of the electric field in the remodeling process, and proposes to quantify its effects with a view to obtaining a clinically applicable model.

Keywords : remodeling parameters; bones; temporary change; electromagnetism.
