The phrase "applied to the bone" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where something is being directly applied or relevant to a fundamental or core aspect of a subject, often in medical or metaphorical discussions.
Example: "The treatment was specifically designed to be applied to the bone, ensuring maximum effectiveness in healing."
Alternatives: "administered to the bone" or "targeted at the bone".
Specimens were carefully prepared for analysis by the curators of the Institute Carlos III in Madrid, the repository of the SH fossils, removing any consolidants previously applied to the bone surfaces.
The insertion of any implant or prosthesis into bone usually changes the biomechanical environment and, thus, alters the stresses and strains applied to the bone.
Bone fracture occurs when the bone strength (i.e. the ability of the bone to resist a force) is less than the force applied to the bone.
From an engineering viewpoint, fractures represent a structural failure of the bone whereby the forces and moments applied to the bone exceed its load-bearing capacity.
The blood cancer charity revealed that 480 Asian people applied to the bone marrow register online in September and October, compared to 40 joining the register in the same period the previous year.
In the book, an arm had been preserved from a murder 15 years previously and I wanted to know what advances in medicine were made in that time that could be applied to the bone.
The compressive forces applied to the bone-cement interface on the final day were higher in the polished stem than in the rough stem, 12-fold in size 2 and 3.3-fold in size 3. Smaller compressive forces or reduction in compressive forces were also observed for the rough stem in the distal lateral sites.
This mechanism has been the subject of a number of in vivo studies in animals in which artificial loads have been applied to the bones on one side and the modelling and remodelling responses in the loaded bones compared with those in the non-loaded contra-lateral pair [2 29].
If you have one easily at hand, a padded splint can be applied to the the fractured bone to immobilize the injury and reduce discomfort.
The IMD (Isotropic Material Design) approach is next applied to determine the optimal elasticity tensor in terms of the bulk and shear moduli for the present loading applied to the femoral bone sample.
