Trabecular bone tissue is a part of the skeleton, occupying 20% of its mass, which not only supports organs, but also participates in blood formation through the bone marrow. A new load on it can cause adaptation, leading to physical abnormalities and pathologies. An example is the Popov-Godon syndrome, in which the loss of an antagonist (a tooth in the opposite jaw) leads to tooth displacement and deformation of the arch.
Scientists from Perm Polytechnic University have created a model to predict the long-term consequences of skeletal surgery. They want to use it to study the jaw, vertebrae and other bones. The research was published at the All-Russian Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
Both natural and pathological loads affect the development of the human skeleton, which consists of compact and spongy bone tissue. The spongy tissue has a porous structure and adapts to external forces by rotating. Despite existing methods for imaging cancellous bone, their use in the clinic does not provide prognosis.
