Stimulators of bone healing. Biologic and biomechanical.
Bone is a dynamic biologic tissue. Metabolically active, the stimuli for bone degeneration and regeneration is influenced and modulated by biomechanical and biologic (cellular, hormonal, and molecular) physiologic processes. This article discusses the biologic and biomechanical stimulators and inhibitors of bone healing.
