Answer
Wolff law is concerned with:
Answer: (C) The thickness and shape of the bone being
dependant on stresses placed upon it.
Wolff’s law is framed by the German anatomist and surgeon Julius
Wolff which states that boneos the healthy person will adapt to the
loads under which it is placed. It says that the forces that are
placed upon of a healthy person makes the bone to grows and remodel
in accordance with that. This law can be applied in remodeling of
bone after a fracture/injury, by placing specific stress in
specific directions to the bone could aid in remodeling of bone and
helps to become normal, healthy bone again
