Bone is exquisitely sensitive to its mechanical environment. The mechanisms by which this occurs from the biochemical to the organ level are explored in this chapter. Various models used to explain mechanical adaptation are also described. Cartilage is less adaptive, but several models have been proposed to explain how cartilage develops and adapts to loads.
