Third Edition
by Van C. Mow
and Rik Huiskes
Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Mechano-Biology reflects the latest advances in research on orthopaedic biomechanics and the successful applications of biomechanical principles in fracture fixation, prosthetic implant design, and hip and knee arthroplasty.
Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Mechano-Biology is completely revised and updated
New chapters cover biomaterials, biomechanical principles of cartilage and bone tissue engineering, and biomechanics of fracture fixation and fracture healing.
