This new book explores the increasingly popular field of electrical stimulation of lesions of the musculoskeletal system, exploring its use in both research and treatment. Presenting an overview of the field, Electrical Stimulation describes clinical experience with electrical stimulation in orthopedic, neuro- and plastic surgery, biological sources of electrical signals, and electromechanical characterization of tissues. Timely and detailed, this volume provides an understanding of this important and growing field to all those who are affected by it.

Bioengineers need a thorough grounding in biocompatibility - the biological performance of materials. Until now, there were no publications suitable for a neophyte in the field; prior publications were either not comprehensive or focused on rather narrow interests. Drawing on the author's 35 years of experience as a teacher, researcher, and consultant in biomaterials science and engineering (BSE), Biological Performance of Materials: Fundamentals of Biocompatibility, Fourth Edition focuses primarily on principles of biological performance at a relatively fundamental level, analyzing interactions between living organisms and nonliving materials used in medical devices - the subject that sets BSE apart as a distinct field of investigation. Following an introductory section, the book is divided into three sections: the material response to biological systems, host response to biomaterials, and test methods for determining biological response in vitro as well as in animal models and clinical settings. Supplemental "Interparts" summarize the physical properties of commonly used metallic, polymeric, and ceramic biomaterials. They also provide a guide to understanding the clinical performance of implanted biomaterials.

Revised, expanded, and updated, Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice, Second Edition introduces materials science and applies it to medical research and treatment. This book incorporates math and engineering, which makes it accessible to trainees and others working in the industry who are lacking primary mathematical and engineering training. What’s New in the Second Edition: In the second edition, the new material includes regeneration, hybrid and replant materials, tissue engineering, electrical stimulation for tissue growth and repair, modeling of material behavior in service, and long-term function of materials in patients. It explores tools for non-destructive and destructive analysis of explanted devices, and provides updates on all material classes including shape memory and degradable alloys, fracture-resistant ceramics, and bioabsorbable polymers. It provides a compendium for implant host response including in-depth discussion of metallosis and hypersensitive response. It also adds new case studies, worked problems, and a complete self-evaluation test with annotated answers. • Includes focused, practical study questions after each chapter • Presents extensive, detailed figures accompanying example problems and concepts • Provides a one-stop reference for understanding all biomaterials that are used in contemporary orthopaedic surgery and beyond • Introduces key concepts of relevance in each chapter Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice, Second Edition serves as a textbook for orthopaedic residents. It can also serve as a review for the Orthopaedists In-Training Examination (OITE), the Orthopaedic Self-Assessment Examination, or the Orthopaedic Board Examination.

This work offers an explanation of clinical phenomena related to the intrinsic properties of natural and fabricated biomaterials relevant to orthopaedic practice. It covers such central aspects of biomaterials as properties of tissues and of fabricated materials as well as the interaction between natural and fabricated materials. This work is designed to serve as a course textbook for orthopaedic residents and as a self-instructional review for both the orthopaedist in-training and candidates for board exams. It should also be useful as an introductory source of information for the medical student or practitioner who lacks primary engineering training.
