摘要

This work characterizes an aspect of human bone micro-structure, pertinent to fracture initiation and arrest. It addresses how the orientation of elementary components proximate to osteocyte lacunae influences secondary osteon micro-biomechanics. New data at the perilacunar region concerning orientation of collagen-apatite, and prior data on collagen orientation outside the perilacunar region, are incorporated in a novel simulation of osteons to investigate how orientation relates to strains and stresses during mechanical testing. The perilacunar region was observed by confocal microscopy within single lamellar specimens, isolated from osteons. The specimens were separated by extinct or bright appearance in transverse section under circularly polarizing light. This is because synchrotron diffraction and confocal microscopy had established that each type, away from the perilacunar region, corresponds to specific dominant collagen orientation (extinct lamellae's dominant collagen forming small angles with the original osteon axis, while the bright lamellae's forms larger angles). Morphometry of serial confocal images of each perilacunar region showed collagen orientation generally following the orientation of canaliculi, circumambiently-perpendicular to the lacuna. The lacunae tilted relative to the lamellar walls were more numerous in extinct than in bright lamella. Their apices were less likely in extinct than bright lamella to show collagen following the canalicular orientation. The simulation of osteocyte lacunae in osteons, under tension or compression loading, supports the hypothesis that collagen orientation affects strains and stresses at the equatorial perilacunar region in conjunction with the presence of the lacuna. We further conjecture that collagen orientation diverts propagation of micro-cracks initiating from apices.
