Finite element analysis demonstrates stress-induced bone resorption drives subchondral bone cysts in osteoarthrosis, indicating mechanical overload promotes joint damage.
Key Points
Investigate whether stress-induced bone resorption mechanisms drive the development of subchondral bone cysts in osteoarthrosis.
Conducted a finite element analysis to simulate biomechanical forces and load distribution within osteoarthritic joint bone.
Biomechanical simulation confirmed that localized mechanical stress triggers bone resorption, supporting its role as the primary cause of subchondral bone cyst formation.
