Interactions of Bone with Orthopedic Implants and Possible Failures - Orthopedic Implants and Biomaterials

Interactions of Bone with Orthopedic Implants and Possible Failures focuses on the mechanical and biological issues that would cause failure of the implant-bone construct. This book provides an in-depth discussion on the effects of the design, process, surface, and other engineering parameters of implants and their interaction with bone tissue. For implant designers, it is highly crucial to know the final effects of what they are designing or aiming to design conceptually on the performance of the implant. It is also crucial for orthopedic surgeons to be familiarized with the background of the design and process parameters of the implant they will insert in a patient's body. With this understanding, surgeons can have better implant options and implant designers can create and develop new implant designs. This book can also help biomechanical and mechanical engineers who are normally dealing with testing and analyzing of the orthopedic implants to examine the biomechanical behavior of the implants in interaction with the bone tissue.
