(Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials) 2nd Edition
by Kendell Pawelec (Editor), J. A. Planell (Editor)
Bone Repair Biomaterials: Regeneration and Clinical Applications, Second Edition,
provides comprehensive reviews on materials science, engineering
principles and recent advances. Sections review the fundamentals of bone
repair and regeneration, discuss the science and properties of
biomaterials used for bone repair, including metals, ceramics, polymers
and composites, and discuss clinical applications and considerations,
with chapters on such topics as orthopedic surgery, tissue engineering,
implant retrieval, and ethics of bone repair biomaterials. This second
edition includes more chapters on relevant biomaterials and a greatly
expanded section on clinical applications, including bone repair
applications in dental surgery, spinal surgery, and maxilo-facial and
skull surgery.
In addition, the book features coverage of
long-term performance and failure of orthopedic devices. It will be an
invaluable resource for researchers, scientists and clinicians concerned
with the repair and restoration of bone.
