The progressive ossification pattern in a fracture callus was predicted based on a theory that relates the local stimulus for ossification to the tissue mechanical loading history. Two-dimensional finite element analyses of a fracture callus were considered at three different stages of ossification.
The formation of bone occurs normally by one of two developmental processes: intramembranous or endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification occurs in the morphogenesis of the limb buds and growth plates, and in the regeneration of bone following injury (fracture callus). Two classes of diff
