This book covers the biomechanics of fixation techniques, addressing the biological and mechanical principles involved and describing the mechanics of commonly used devices. It takes a practical approach--emphasizing a conceptual understanding of basic principles--to guide you in selecting the most effective methods of fixation for your patients. It addresses the biological and mechanical principles of fixation techniques and describes the mechanics of commonly used devices such as screws, plates and intramedullary rods. You'll find valuable insights on the latest methods and technology available including design factors affecting performance of screws in porous materials, the biomechanics of low contact and no contact bone plates, percutaneous pinning techniques and the mechanical stability of pelvic fixation. This comprehensive text also provides an in-depth look at spinal fixation devices.
