Influence of high-frequency cyclical stimulation on the bone fracture-healing process: mathematical and experimental models

Abstract: Mechanical stimulation affects the evolution of healthy and fractured bone. However, the effect of applying cyclical mechanical stimuli on bone healing has not yet been fully clarified. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of a highfrequency and low-magnitude cyclical displacement of the fractured fragments on the bone-healing process. This subject is studied experimentally and computationally for a sheep long bone. On the one hand, the mathematical computational study indicates that mec… Show more

“…In a study developed by González‐Torres et al. , a finite‐element model of a sheep tibia metatarsus fracture allowed the conclusion that the change in the frequency of the external mechanical stimulus directly affects the interstitial fluid flow velocity in the fracture callus. Goodship et al .…”

“…37,38 However, very recent studies [38][39][40] have started to demonstrate the positive correlation that underestimated high-frequency, low-magnitude interfragmentary micromotions have on the rate and quality of bone fracture healing. According to Gómez-Benito et al, 41 these stimuli may be associated with the promotion of endochondral ossification and an increase in the rate of cell proliferation and tissue synthesis. Although several studies support this concept, it has not yet been fully clarified.…”

“…On the other hand, the use of in silico models offers a wide (and cheap) spectrum for analyses. Consequently, it is called to play a prominent role in the design of new treatments, due to its intrinsic capacity to isolate single factors [18].…”

“…Burrowes et al [12] demonstrate, via computational simulation of patient-derived vascular occlusions in a model of the pulmonary circulation, that mechanical obstruction alone is not sufficient to cause pulmonary arterial hypertension, additional downstream occlusion being needed to increase pressures significantly. The study by Gómez-Benito et al [13] is aimed at determining the influence of high-frequency, low-amplitude cyclical stimulation on the bonehealing process. Combining experiments and predictions of a previously published mechano-biological model, the authors propose the design of a new bone-healing treatment.…”
