Abstract

In 1892, J. Wolff, an orthopedic surgeon, stated that the internal architecture and shape of a bone were related to the direction of stresses placed upon it. Conventional radiographs and MRI can demonstrate the adaptability of bones to stresses. Imaging also demonstrates that this adaptability has limitations, and that excessive stress may lead to fracture.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS and Éditions françaises de radiologie.
