The effect of mechanical forces on the structure of bone has intrigued biologists for many years. As early as 1838 Ward recognized the resemblance of the structure of the femur to a crane, and the appropriateness of the form of the femur to withstand the possible forces to which it was subjected. Since it has been universally assumed that bone must withstand mechanical forces, many investigators have analysed and tried to relate the structure of bone to the manner in which these forces are distributed throughout the bone.
