Bone Remodeling Cycle

Meaning

The Bone Remodeling Cycle is the continuous, precisely regulated physiological process of bone turnover that occurs throughout an individual’s life. This mechanism involves the sequential removal of old or damaged bone tissue and the subsequent replacement with new, healthy bone matrix. This cycle is essential for maintaining the mechanical integrity of the skeleton, repairing micro-damage, and ensuring systemic calcium homeostasis. A healthy, balanced cycle is critical for preserving peak bone mass and preventing fragility fractures.
