bone loss around a stiff implant that carries load the bone would otherwise bear, reducing the bone's stimulus to maintain itself.

In biomechanics, stress shielding refers to bone loss around a stiff implant that carries load the bone would otherwise bear, reducing the bone's stimulus to maintain itself. This meaning comes from Huiskes (1992) in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research.[1]
