Abstract
Bone remodeling constitutes the cellular processes going on throughout life leading to a continuous replacement of old bone with new in order to adjust trabecular structure to mechanical forces, to repair microfractures and to secure the viability of the embedded osteocytes. Besides mechanical forces the remodeling processes are influenced by local concentrations of ions, paracrine factors and hormones. Typical changes in cortical and trabecular bone remodeling will therefore occur in diseased states characterized by excess or lack of calcitropic and other hormones.
