Estimating elbow loading conditions through the motion behaviors of subchondral bone density during joint movements

Evaluating complicated stress across the elbow under joint motion remains difficult. Here, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of the subchondral bone density in the normal elbow bones and further characterize their spatial relationships during elbow motion to estimate the loading stress across the articular surface using three-dimensional computed tomography bone models.
