Listen "Stress Shielding & Bone Loss: When Stability Hurts Healing"
Episode Synopsis
In this BoardsCast episode, we explore the double-edged sword of surgical stability — and how too much can actually delay or damage bone healing.We unpack:The biomechanical basis of stress shieldingWhy Wolff’s Law applies in both directionsHow over-stiff constructs reduce callus and remodel poorlyWhere stress shielding leads to cortical thinning, screw loosening, or implant failureStrategies to minimize shielding through plate length, screw number, and implant selectionBoard-style case examples and recovery insightsIf you’ve ever questioned whether your fixation was too rigid — or wondered why a perfectly stable repair still failed — this episode connects the dots between construct design and biologic response.—🎁 Claim your free sample of Simini Protect Lavage (just cover shipping): https://www.simini.com/getstarted1620808454519🔊 Listen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music
