Abstract

Bone remodeling is a dynamic process involving bone resorption and formation that is regulated on a cellular level and impacted by mechanical stress. A variety of Orthopedic surgery treatment strategies can affect bone remodeling, which can in turn may have long-term impacts on skeletal stress tolerance and function. This review provides a comprehensive overview of bone remodeling involved in Orthopedic surgery. Materials related to bone remodeling principles across Orthopedic surgery domains were selected and compiled using databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, AccessMedicine, and CINAHL; case studies were not included. Relevant literature was summarized for a general review of bone remodeling and as it relates to treatment principles in trauma, arthroplasty, and amputation with the aim of providing a relevant, comprehensive review. Overall, the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of bone remodeling principles that are implicated in various techniques within Orthopedic surgery.
