PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This effect is called Wolff’s Law. It states that our bones become thicker and stronger over time to resist forces placed upon them and thinner and weaker if there are no forces to act against. This principle is important for preventing injuries. A thicker bone is harder to break.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wolff’s Law states that your bones will adapt based on the stress or demands placed on them. When you work your muscles, they put stress on your bones. In response, your bone tissue remodels and becomes stronger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wolff’s law theorizes that repetitive loading of bone will cause adaptive responses enabling the bone to better cope with these loads. Despite being an adaptive response of bone, the remodeling process may inadvertently trigger maladaptive responses in other articular structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -The remodeling cycle consists of three consecutive phases: resorption, during which osteoclasts digest old bone; reversal, when mononuclear cells appear on the bone surface; and formation, when osteoblasts lay down new bone until the resorbed bone is completely replaced.
