It Doesn't Follow Wolff's Law
Wolff's law requires controlled, cyclic loading along stress lines to thicken bone. Think targeted resistance exercise.Bone smashing is sporadic, undirected trauma. There's no control over where microfractures and swelling occur. You can't reshape bone predictably like working out muscles.
It Causes Harm, Not Bone Growth
Rather than activating bone-building osteoblasts, bone smashing triggers swelling and inflammation from soft tissue trauma.Repeated blunt force damages blood vessels, leading to fluid build-up and oedema. It can also cause microtears in facial muscles and damage to the facial fat pads.
At best, minor microfractures may heal with added mineralisation. But swelling and scar tissue are more likely outcomes than symmetrical "bone gains".
It Produces Unpredictable, Asymmetrical Results
Even if minor thickening occurs in some areas, the random tissue damage won't lead to enhanced symmetry and proportions.Irregular bone swelling and lumpy scar tissue can worsen facial contours.
- It doesn't apply controlled, directional forces. Weightlifting triggers bone growth by applying targeted mechanical stress. Bone smashing is uncontrolled blunt force trauma.
- It causes microfractures and swelling, not bone growth. The trauma leads to swelling and inflammation, not beneficial remodelling.
- It can't produce symmetrical, predictable results. Injury patterns are random rather than controlled.
