    AbstractTrabecular alignment theory has been used to quantify Wolff's Law of bone remodeling. A three-dimensional finite element scheme was developed to analyze the bone remodeling phenomenon. The mathematical model proposed by Mullender et al. and later modified by Smith et al. was adopted to simulate the surface-based trabecular resorption and formation processes. Enhancements incorporated into the previous model include: mapping into three-dimensions, controlling the remodeling signal's passage through marrow, controlling the finite distance the signal may pass through the bone matrix, and including non-bone material in the finite element model. After the model is explained and thoroughly studied, three-dimensional implant surface geometries are simulated.
