Abstract
This chapter investigates the relationship between the individual trabecular morphology in cancellous bone and the types of load applied. In particular, to understand the effects of a bending load on trabecular bone adaptation, we conduct remodeling simulations for a single trabecula subjected to a cyclic bending load based on our original remodeling model. It is shown that the bending load influences not only the formation of the plate-like trabecula but also the changes in its topology. The results suggest the possibility that the characteristic morphology of an individual trabecula is determined by the local mechanical environment in the overall cancellous bone.
