EVALUATION OF WOLFF'S LAW OF BONE FORMATION

ALEXANDER KUSHNER M.B., B.SC.1

1 Resident in Orthopedic Surgery, Nebraska Orthopedic Hospital, Lincoln

1. Clinical evidence in support of Wolff's law as originally propounded has been cited.

2. Jansen's contention that tension always produces bone atrophy is not substantiated, and his proposal that Wolff's law be modified accordingly is unwarranted.

3. A bone graft will survive and will continue to hypertrophy, although under constant tension.
