"Orthopaedic Biomechanics" is designed to be a systematic, interdisciplinary presentation of the biomechanical laws governing natural human locomotion and, by extension, the movement of prosthetic joints. Specialists provide a synthesis of clinical and research data on muscle and joint loads; biomechanical forces acting upon the estremities and axial skeleton; stress-strain behaviours of bone, tendons, ligament, cartilage and knee meniscus; cortical and trabecular bone properties; lubrication of diarthrodial joints; biomechanics of fracture fixation; biomechanics of the spine; and biomechanics of artificial joint fixation, especially bone-prosthesis interactions and prosthesis design. Complementing the text are anatomic line drawings, clinical and intraoperative photographs, CT scans, MR images and radiographs. Most chapters feature problems designed to reinforce key points and assess mastery of the material. It is aimed a orthopaedists and orthopaedic residents as well as bioengineers and senior-level bioengineering students committed to biomechanics research.

Review

Praise for the previous edition: "This new edition is a celebration of the rapid strides that have been made in our understanding of musculoskeletal biomechanics and in the design and evaluation of joint-arthroplasty components...This text should find a welcome place in orthopaedic and engineering libraries."

"This is an excellent book in orthopaedic biomechanics that will greatly benefit all members of the biomechanics community. It can be used as a text for beginning and advanced students, as well as a reference for both students and researchers at all levels, or for those who just want to learn something about biomechanics."--BioMedical Engineering OnLine
