Abstract

The goal of this paper is to develop a computational method to predict cancellous bone density distributions based upon continuum levels of volumetric strain. Volumetric strain is defined as the summation of normal strains, excluding shear strains, within an elastic range of loadings. Volumetric strain at a particular location in a cancellous structure changes with changes of the boundary conditions (prescribed displacements, tractions, and pressure). This change in the volumetric strain is postulated to predict the adaptive change in the bone apparent density. This bone remodeling theory based on volumetric strain is then used with the finite element method to compute the apparent density distribution for cancellous bone in both lumbar spine and proximal femur using an iterative algorithm, considering the dead zone of strain stimuli. The apparent density distribution of cancellous bone predicted by this method has the same pattern as experimental data reported in the literature (Wolff 1892, Keller et al. 1989, Cody et al. 1992). The resulting bone apparent density distributions predict Young's modulus and strength distributions throughout cancellous bone in agreement with the literature (Keller et al. 1989, Carter and Hayes 1977). The method was convergent and sensitive to changes in boundary conditions. Therefore, the computational algorithm of the present study appears to be a useful approach to predict the apparent density distribution of cancellous bone (i.e. a numerical approximation for Wolff's Law)

본 연구의 목적은 체적 변형률 (volumetric strain)에 의한 스폰지 뼈의 밀도를 예측하는 것이다. 스폰지 뼈의 내부에서 유체의 흐름을 고려하기 위하여 각각의 normal strain의 합을 체적 변형률로 정의하였다. 체적 변형률의 경계조건에 대한 민감한 반응은 스폰지 뼈의 밀도를 예측하도록 하였다. 이러한 이론적 배경을 유한요소법 (finite element method)에 적용시켜 대퇴골 (femur)과 척구 (spine)의 스폰지 뼈에서의 밀도를 예측하였다. 예측된 뼈의 밀도는 실험적 데이터와 매우 유사하였다. (Wolff 1892, Keller et al. 1989, Codyet al. 1992). 뼈의 밀도의 함수인 뼈의 탄성계수와 강도 또한 실험적 결과와 매우 유사하였다. (Keller et al. 1989, Carter and Hayes 1977). 본 연구에서 정립된 알고리즘은 스폰지 뼈의 밀도를 예측하는데 있어서 수렴성과 민감성이 우수하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 컴퓨터 알고리즘은 스폰지 뼈의 밀도예측에 있어서 매우 유용한 방법이 될 것이다.
