Abstract: The bone healing process involves a sequence of cellular action and interaction, regulated by biochemical and mechanical signals. Experimental studies have shown that ultrasound accelerates bone solidification and enhances the underlying healing mechanisms. An integrated computational model is presented for deriving predictions of bone healing under the presence of ultrasound.
