- Abstract
Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary field focused on the analysis of biological materials, i.e., cellular or tissue fragments. In general, little is known about the mechanics of the processes acting upon biological materials, since it should be noted that chemical, mechanical, remodelling and adhesional interactions exist at vivid tissues cellular level. In order to monitor, with the help of ultrasounds, the biomechanical behaviour of the 45-day-deposited callus after tibial ostectomy (oste(o)- <New Latin from Greek osteon, bone - + -ectomy < New Latin ectomia, to cut out) as compared with a normal bone, an algorithm was put forward to determine the biomechanical features of the bone in question. This algorithm is based on the method of the finite element. The bony model could be submitted to compression and shearing with the help of the VCAT programme packages, demonstrating the recovery of the bony tissue under the influence of ultrasounds in a percentage of 90% after 45 days since the ostectomy.
