摘 要：正Aims: Osteocytes play an important role in the proposed ’ Mechanostat ’ in bone physiology. Osteonecrosis is characterized histopathologically as death of a significant amount of osteocytes. We accordingly hypothesized that there might be a shift of ’ Mechanostat ’ as well in steroid -associated osteonecrosis.
