• Resumen

  • Fracture healing is a natural process that can reconstitute the fractured bone and recover its original function and form. In this work we extend to three dimensions a mechanobiological two dimension model of fracture healing based on mechanical stimulus.

    This model is able to model growth, differentiation and damage of the tissues that appear during the healing process. The continuity equation governs the evolution of the different cells and tissues
