The mechanical properties of whole bones, bone tissue, and the bone-implant interfaces are as important as their morphological and structural aspects. Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface helps you assess these properties by explaining how to do mechanical testing of bone and the bone-implant interface for bone-related research. Articles explore the basic mechanical principles of bone-related study and how to conduct mechanical testing of bone specimens. More practical than theoretical, the text includes 42 chapters in three sections that cover mechanical properties of bone, general considerations of mechanical testing, basic facilities and instruments for mechanical testing; mechanical testing procedures on bone tissues; and mechanical testing procedures on the implant-bone interface. There are approximately three hundred illustrations, including line drawings, diagrams, tables, and photographs. Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface is the most concise, straightforward, and in-depth treatment ever to be published - long needed by the orthopedic and bone research communities.
Orthopaedic procedures in elderly patients are challenging and costly. As the population ages these costs will continue to escalate. ORTHOPAEDIC ISSUES IN OSTEOPOROSIS weaves together theory and applications to provide the first reference available on the orthopaedic aspects of osteoporosis.
The focus on the management of patients who have had a fracture sets this book apart. Featuring extensive coverage of surgical management of osteoporotic fractures, it highlights the challenges of internal repair in osteoporotic bone. The chapters combine the basic and clinical essentials of osteoporosis with the latest orthopaedic findings in applied research and surgical treatment.
Fractures associated with osteoporosis account for the majority of the money spent on this condition. However, the orthpaedic treatment of osteoporotic bone is a formidable surgical problem, and one not covered explicitly in any book - until now. With over 300 tables, line drawings, equations, and macro or X-ray photographs, ORTHOPAEDIC ISSUES IN OSTEOPOROSIS is a long overdue resource.
About the Editor: Yuehuei H. (Huey) An, MD, graduated from the Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Northeast China in 1983 and was trained in orthopaedic surgery at the Beijing Ji Shui Tan Hospital (Residency), and in hand surgery at Sydney Hospital (Clinical Fellow), Australia. In 1991, Dr. An joined with Dr. Richard J. Friedman in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina to establish the MUSC Orthopaedic Research Laboratory, which is now a multifunctional orthopaedic research center. Dr. An has published more than 100 scientific papers and book chapters and more than 100 abstracts and edited 6 books, including Animal Models in Orthopaedic Research (CRC Press 1999) and Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface (CRC Press 2000). He is an active member of eight academic societies in the fields of orthopaedics, biomaterials, biomechanics, and tissue engineering.
Animal Models in Orthopaedic Research is a reference book of the major animal models used in the study of orthopaedic conditions and in the in vivo study of biomaterials. Use of animal models provides important knowledge about pathological conditions that can eventually lead to the development of more effective clinical treatment of diseases in both humans and animals. Directed primarily toward surgeons, investigators, research fellows, graduate students, and those working in orthopaedic or biomaterial research, this book is intended to serve as a basis for a literature search before embarking on a detailed research project. This book is the result of the editors' own quest for information about research methodology and the use of animal models in orthopaedic and biomaterial research. Concise, inclusive, and practical, this work:

Research on bacterial adhesion and its significance is a major
field involving many different aspects of nature and human life,
such as marine science, soil and plant ecology, most importantly,
the biomedical field. The adhesion ofbacteria to the food industry,
and human tissue surfaces and implanted biomaterial surfaces is an
important step in the patho genesis of infection. Handbook 0/
Bacterial Adhesion: Principles, Methods, and Applications is an
outgrowth of the editors' own quest for information on laboratory
techniques for studying bacte rial adhesion to biomaterials, bone,
and other tissues and, more importantly, a response to significant
needs in the research community. This book is designed to be an
experimental guide for biomedical scientists, biomaterials
scientists, students, laboratory technicians, or anyone who plans
to conduct bacterial adhesion studies. More specifically, it is
intended for all those researchers facing the chal lenge of implant
infections in such devices as orthopedic prostheses, cardiovascular
devices or catheters, cerebrospinal fluid shunts or extradural
catheters, thoracic or abdominal catheters, portosystemic shunts or
bile stents, urological catheters or stents, plastic surgical
implants, oral or maxillofacial implants, contraceptive implants,
or even contact lenses. It also covers research methods for the
study of bacterial adhesion to tis sues such as teeth, respiratory
mucosa, intestinal mucosa, and the urinary tract. In short, it
constitutes a handbook for biomechanical and bioengineering
researchers and students at all levels."
Histotechnology and histomorphometry are the major methodologies in
bone and cartila- related research. Handbook of Histology Methods
for Bone and Cartilage is an outgrowth of the editors' own quest
for information on bone and cartilage histology and
histomorphometry. It is designed to be an experimental guide for
personnel who work in the areas of basic and clinical bone and
cartilage, orthopedic, or dental research. It is the first
inclusive and organized reference book on histological and
histomorphometrical techniques on bone and cartilage specimens. The
topic has not previously been covered adequately by any existing
books in the field. Handbook of Histology Methods for Bone and
Cartilage has six major parts and is designed to be concise as well
as inclusive, and more practical than theoretical. The text is
simple and straightforward. Large numbers of tables, line drawings,
and micro- or macro-photographs, are used to help readers better
understand the content. Full bibliographies at the end of each
chapter guide readers to more detailed information. A book of this
length cannot discuss every method for bone and cartilage histology
that has been used over the years, but it is hoped that major
methods and their applications have been included.
