Computational modeling of the mechanical modulation of the growth plate by sustained loading
<p>Abstract</p> <p>This paper presents a computational model that describes the growth of the bone as a function of the proliferation and hypertrophy of chondrocytes in the growth plate. We have included the effects of the mechanical loads on the sizes of the proliferative and hype...
