Bones and joints are always under mechanical loading a key concept
in understanding bone metabolism. Among the most common diseases of
bones and joints in the elderly are osteoporosis and joint
osteoarthritis. Dynamic changes in mechanical loading give rise to
problems resulting in stenosis of the spinal column at the
cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels. Mechanical loading also
accelerates joint destruction caused by inflammation from such
conditions as chronic rheumatoid arthritis. An understanding of
mechanical loading is essential therefore to clinicians, basic
researchers, and engineers working with bones and joints. Providing
up-to-date research and clinical findings, the contents of this
volume are from the papers, symposia, and special lectures
presented at the 12th Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research
Meeting of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association in Niigata, in
October 1997.
