The goal of this research is to understand the role of periosteum in the phenomenon of long bone straightening associated with mal-united fractures and abnormal intrauterine positions in children. This involves performing finite element analysis and conducting in vivo experiments to determine the mechanobiological effect of mechanical strain on mesenchymal cell differentiation and osteoclast recruitment in the cambium layer of periosteum.
