Computational simulation of bone remodelling post reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
Bone is a living material. It adapts, in an optimal sense, to loading by changing its density and trabeculae architecture - a process termed remodelling. Implanted orthopaedic devices can significantly alter the loading on the surrounding bone. In addition, these devices rely on bone ingrowth to ens...
