An introduction to the biomechanics and biomaterials of bone, joints, and implants.
Biomechanics and biomaterials of bone, joints, and implants has been presented in an overview manner with the use of selected examples. The musculoskeletal system is a living, dynamic entity that is constructed so that changes in mechanics, if the body does not have time to compensate, can lead to major problems over a period of time. The mechanics of the tissues ensure a smoothly operating system.
