Abstract

Using combined poro-elastic element modeling and in vivo experimental measurements, it was shown that mechanical deformation of bone mediates intracortical fluid flow and intramedullary (IM) fluid pressure. Load-induced fluid pressure gradients were correlated to the sites and magnitude of surface new bone formation. The aim of this study was to initiate intracortical fluid flow driven by oscillated IM pressure in the absence of matrix deformation. Transcortical fluid flow rises through IM pressure alone which suggests that oscillation of IM pressures influence the bone fluid perfusion in many ways.
