Analysis of the Osteogenic Effects of Biomaterials Using Numerical Simulation

We describe the development of an optimization algorithm for determining the effects of different properties of implanted biomaterials on bone growth, based on the finite element method and bone self-optimization theory. The rate of osteogenesis and the bone density distribution of the implanted bio...
