Stress Shielding & Bone Loss: When Stability Hurts Healing
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 shielding
- Why Wolff’s Law applies in both directions
- How over-stiff constructs reduce callus and remodel poorly
- Where stress shielding leads to cortical thinning, screw loosening, or implant failure
- Strategies to minimize shielding through plate length, screw number, and implant selection
- Board-style case examples and recovery insights
If 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.
