title: [Mechanics as a basic physical discipline in orthopedics and traumatology].
abstract: Among the various relationships between fields of the clinical medicine and fields of physics, the relationship between orthopaedics and traumatology and mechanics is of a particularly close and manifold nature. We try to present in this contribution a description of the physical principles of mechanics and to give a survey of its various fields of application in orthopaedic and traumatologic basic research.
