N2 - Inverse bone remodeling (IBR) is a method to deduce
the external loading from a given bone microstructure
[1]. In its essence, it optimally scales a set of unit loads
until a homogeneous tissue loading state is reached.
Despite its simplicity, it was successfully used to
estimate physiological loading conditions [2] or infer
habitual hand bone loadings of primates [3]. However,
the method was formulated for computationally
expensive micro-finite element (μFE) models, limiting
its application to smaller bones and requiring highquality
scans. This study aimed to translate the inverse
remodeling method to computationally efficient
homogenized FE (hFE) models and test it on distal
radius sections.
