title: Computer Modeling in Bone Research.
abstract: Computer modeling has had an undoubtedly enormous impact on the field of bone research in recent years. Development of advanced computer based models has permitted researchers to explore a vast area of musculoskeletal science from the complex biophysical stimuli at the cellular level to the mechanical behavior of heterogeneous skeletal structures. Furthermore, computer modeling has given significant impetus to the impressive progress of modern bone implant development. With recent advances in computers, faster hardware and increasingly sophisticated software, the prospects for the future of computer-based bone research appear more exciting than ever.
