Table 2.

Trabecular bone parameters and bone turnover rates for the six simulations of bone modelling and remodelling with varied osteocyte density and influence distance. Please note that the osteocyte density was predefined and, in combination with it, the osteocyte influence distance chosen to lead to a BV/TV of 20%
