Orthopaedic Biomechanics: Mechanics and Design in Musculoskeletal Systems (Bioengineering)
Orthopaedic Biomechanics Mechanics and Design in Musculoskeletal Systems - Bioengineering Author:Donald L. Bartel, Dwight T. Davy, Tony M. Keaveny This book addresses the mechanical and structural aspects of the skeletal system ? along with the analysis and design of orthopaedic implants that are used to repair the system when it is damaged. Focuses on applications of mechanical engineering in orthopaedic biomechanics, quantitatative modeling, and improving the reader?s understanding of m... more »echanics. Introduces the musculoskeletal system, determining loads and motions, the structure and properties of bone and soft tissue, and stress analysis of biomechanical systems), as well as introducing applications of the material (including a basic introduction to bone-implant systems, fracture fixation devices, hip replacements, knee replacements, and articulating surfaces). For those interested in orthopaedic biomechanics, as well as orthopedic surgeons who wish to learn more about mechanics and design in the musculoskeletal system.« less
