Bones are pivotal to long-term health, providing structural support and facilitating mobility. However, various patient groups commonly develop torsional bony deformities, leading to numerous clinical problems. Understanding, monitoring, and ultimately modifying bone growth is crucial for improving the functional mobility of these patients and preserving lifelong health. Despite recognizing, since the 19th century, that bone growth is influenced by mechanical loads, the specific loading environments leading to typical growth or deformities remain unknown. This project fills this knowledge gap by examining the intricate relationships between mechanical loading, bone growth, and femoral…
