Cutting-edge solutions to current problems in orthopedics,
supported by modeling and numerical analysis
Despite the current successful methods and achievements of good
joint implantations, it is essential to further optimize the shape
of implants so they may better resist extreme long-term mechanical
demands. This book provides the orthopedic, biomechanical, and
mathematical basis for the simulation of surgical techniques in
orthopedics. It focuses on the numerical modeling of total human
joint replacements and simulation of their functions, along with
the rigorous biomechanics of human joints and other skeletal parts.
The book includes:
An introduction to the anatomy and biomechanics of the human
skeleton, biomaterials, and problems of alloarthroplasty
The definition of selected simulated orthopedic problems
Constructions of mathematical model problems of the biomechanics
of the human skeleton and its parts
Replacement parts of the human skeleton and corresponding
mathematical model problems
Detailed mathematical analyses of mathematical models based on
functional analysis and finite element methods
Biomechanical analyses of particular parts of the human
skeleton, joints, and corresponding replacements
A discussion of the problems of data processing from nuclear
magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomography
This timely book offers a wealth of information on the current
research in this field. The theories presented are applied to
specific problems of orthopedics. Numerical results are presented
and discussed from both biomechanical and orthopedic points of view
and treatment methods are also briefly addressed. Emphasis is
placed on the variational approach to the investigated model
problems while preserving the orthopedic nature of the investigated
problems. The book also presents a study of algorithmic procedures
based on these simulation models.
This is a highly useful tool for designers, researchers, and
manufacturers of joint implants who require the results of
suggested experiments to improve existing shapes or to design new
shapes. It also benefits graduate students in orthopedics,
biomechanics, and applied mathematics.
