Abstract

Structural arrangements of the bony microstructure of a joint through adaptational processes are thought to be determined by the biomechanical demands and its changes. Pursuing this theory of “form follows the biomechanical function”, the load distribution of the glenoid cavity, as it is mirrored in its mineralization pattern, should link not only to its thickness distribution, but also will have an impact onto the trabecular network below. To prove and confirm this hypothesis, we analysed the mineral distribution in correlation to the subchondral bone plates thickness and the distribution of architectural parameters of the trabecular network below. Our findings clearly state an inhomogeneous but regular and reproducible mineral distribution pattern in respect to the biomechanical demands and a thickness of the subchondral bone plate which shows a significant correlation (78–93%). As for the trabecular network below, the distribution of the analysed parameters also revealed an inhomogeneous distribution with a regular pattern in correlation to the biomechanical impact. We found distinctive maxima of material distribution and stability (bone volume 79%, plate-like architecture 77%) situated below areas of high long-term load intake. With increasing depth, the trabecular network administers the expression of each structural parameter following the fact that the strain energy gets more and more evenly distributed and changes from a high degree of differentiation just beneath the SBP to a more equal distribution within the deeper areas. After all, the biomechanical situation of a joint directly influences the bony formation of the subchondral bone plate and the trabecular network below.
