Biomechanics in bone tissue engineering.

Integration of mechanotransduction concepts in bone tissue engineering.

Mechanical stimulus has been identified for a long time as a key player in the adaptation of the musculo-skeletal tissues to their function. Mechanical loading is then an intrinsic variable to be considered when new developments are proposed in bone tissue engineering. By combining structural biomechanics and mechanotransduction aspects, a new paradigm is presented for bone tissue engineering. ...

Temperature in bone drilling process: Mathematical modeling and Optimization of effective parameters (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Bone drilling process is the most prominent process in orthopedically surgeries and curing bone breakages. It is also very common in dentistry and bone sampling operations. Due to complexity of the material that is machined, bone, and the sensitivity of the process, bone drilling is one of the most important, common and sensitive processes in biomedical engineering field. The most critical prob...

Fundamentals of biomechanics in tissue engineering of bone.

The objective of this review is to provide basic information pertaining to biomechanical aspects of bone as they relate to tissue engineering. The review is written for the general tissue engineering reader, who may not have a biomechanical engineering background. To this end, biomechanical characteristics and properties of normal and repair cortical and cancellous bone are presented. Also, thi...

Comparison of the effect of locking vs standard screws on the mechanical properties of bone-plate constructs in a comminuted diaphyseal fracture model.

BONE QUALITY SEMINARS: BONE FRACTURE HEALING AND STRENGTHENING Biomechanics and tissue engineering

Development of artificial scaffold for musculoskeletal applications, especially in load-bearing situations, requires the consideration of biomechanical aspects for its integrity and its function. However, the biomechanical loading could also be used to favour tissue formation through mechano-transduction phenomena. Design of scaffold could take advantages of this intrinsic mechanical loading.
