Bone remodeling is a natural process where old bone tissue is broken down by cells called osteoclasts, and new bone tissue is created by osteoblasts. This cycle allows bones to adapt to stress and repair themselves after injury. Remarkably, the entire human skeleton is replaced roughly every ten years, maintaining bone health and integrity throughout life.
