Abstract

Cortical bone is composed of an osteon, which is a subunit of the cortical bone. At the center of the osteon, Haversian is located and it consists of blood vessels and nerves. Osteon is known to be inclined 5 to 15 degrees with respect to the long axis of a cortical bone, but the reason why it is inclined is not clear. Using the poroelastic calculation provides the pore pressure varies at the lacunar-canalicular network from -200KPa to 200KPa. This estimation is close to the result shown in the previous literature and it helps further cell culture experiment for elucidating the bone remodeling process.
