Abstract
Recent dielectric measurements suggest that the electromechanical effect in wet (fluid saturated) bone is not due to a piezoelectric effect. This would imply that the electromechanical effect observed in wet bone is due to a streaming potential and is therefore dependent on fluid flow in stressed bone. A model for fluid flow in bone in vitro is presented. This model predicts a rapid decay (of the order of a millisecond or less) for the fluid flow in Haversian systems. The implications of this result for the interpretation of the electromechanical effect in wet bone are discussed.
