Mechanobiological modeling of long bone growth

My research aims at developing a valid computational model of long bone growth to predict temporal variation of fracture risk in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) long bones. Boundary value problems governing spatiotemporal distribution of involved cellular and molecular factors are to be developed and solved using finite element analysis. Key parameters influencing growing bone strength are to be identified using principal component analysis (PCA). My research results are expected to help pediatric orthopedic surgeons decide whether to plan a corrective surgery or not to intervene when facing a growing NF1 long bone.
