According to Wolff's law, bones in the living body will adapt to mechanical loads under which they are placed. According to Zhang's law of dynamic deformation of bone, the morphology of bone in a living body, including the shape, diameter, length, curve and alignment of the bone, adapt to long-term loads both before and after skeletal maturity. According to the magnitude of strain, the mode of action, the location site, and the quality of bone, the resulting deformations and rates are different.
