== Bone augmentation == | == Bone augmentation == | ||
I've spent a lot of time analyzing the bone graft picture from Doctor Halsey's journal, as well as the in-universe comment to "not exceed 3% total bone mass," and I think I've nailed down the procedure for the Spartan II's from these details. By some simple mathematics: if we assume bone density to be relatively uniform throughout the bone, then removing 3% of a bone's mass would remove 3% of its volume as well. I also determined from medical text that simply covering existing bone would be highly unlikely to interfere with spongy bone functionality, but removing and replacing a certain amount of the outside material would. So, not only does the procedure aim to increase the breaking point of the bone, but to also avoid complications that might arise from an increase in bone volume in the joints by ''replacing'' bone volume instead of ''increasing'' bone volume | I've spent a lot of time analyzing the bone graft picture from Doctor Halsey's journal, as well as the in-universe comment to "not exceed 3% total bone mass," and I think I've nailed down the procedure for the Spartan II's from these details.
