Biomechanics is often overlooked when dealing with orthopedic
injuries, whether regarding prevention or treatment, and practicing
surgeons and surgeons-in-training may feel overwhelmed when
referring to a book with a more complicated basic science approach.
In order to make the subject clinically relevant to orthopedic
trauma surgery, this unique text presents numerous clinical case
examples to demonstrate clearly and effectively the principles
biomechanics of injury, fixation and fracture healing. Divided into
five sections, the opening chapters cover the essentials of stress
and strain relevant to bone and joints and how this relates to
fractures and their healing, complete with illustrative case
material. This case-based approach is carried throughout the book,
with part two discussing biomechanical principles of external
fixation for diaphyseal and periarticular fractures, limb
lengthening and deformity correction. Tension band wiring for both
olecranon and patella fractures are covered in part three, and both
locking and nonlocking plates are illustrated in part four. The
final section describes biomechanical principles of intramedullary
nails for a variety of fractures and nonunions, as well as
arthrodesis and lengthening. Generous radiological images and
intraoperative photos provide a helpful visual enhancement for the
clinical material. Making the sometimes esoteric topic of
biomechanics more clinically relevant to the practicing clinician,
Essential Biomechanics for Orthopedic Trauma will be an excellent
resource not only for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine
specialists and trauma surgeons, but also medical and biomedical
engineering students and residents.
