Model for computer simulation of bone tissue

The paper deals with the dependence of the torsional moment on the angle of the compact bone torsion in laboratory animals and humans. Based on the data for laboratory animals obtained by measurements, the data on dependence of the torsional moment and the angle of torsion were predicted for humans. The measurements were carried out in four groups of laboratory animals. One was the control group, and the other three groups were treated by various vitamin D3 metabolites. The same measurements were performed also in only one group of humans, due to the impossibility to treat humans with vitamin D3 metabolites. The functional relationship between the angle of torsion and the torsional moment for all the groups of animal bone tissue were determined by measurements, and results were used to predict the reaction of the human compact bone tissue if treated by vitamin D3 metabolites.
