Which outcome occurs when asymmetrical forces affect bone?

💡 Explanation

Wolff's Law explains bone remodeling; asymmetrical forces induce piezoelectric signals that prompt osteoblasts/clasts, and bone adapts its mass distribution. Thus, remodeling redistribution occurs because of load, rather than inhibited ossification; apoptosis or systemic calcium changes.
