AB  - In the 1870’s, Wolff formulated a ‘trajectory theory’ about trabecular bone architecture which can be succinctly written as follows: bone adapts its structure to loading conditions in a way that follows principal stress trajectories. In this study, it was assumed that the human femur is optimally adapted to the loading conditions experienced during daily activities such as walking or climbing stairs. Hence, an initially randomized structural mesoscale model of a femur was iteratively adapted to the loading conditions experienced during a range of daily activities. The resulting structure shows a good visual comparison with clinical observation and the model proved computationally efficient.
