Abstract

An animal model of distraction osteogenesis was used to investigate the effects of altered stresses and strains on tissue development, differentiation, and repair. Osteotomies were performed at 0 and 45 degrees to create different mechanical environments within the distraction gap. Finite element simulations of functional loading and actual distractions indicated significant changes in the gap deformation field. These differences correlated with significant decreases in new bone volume and changes in trabecular architecture for the 45-degree case.
