Tribology and Biophysics of Artificial Joints

Joint endoprosthetics - the science of implanting artificial joints into the human body - has been around since the 1960's, and consistent advancements are leading to better practice, materials and mechanics.

The present book is devoted to the biophysics and the effect of friction and lubrication on artificial joints. The important aspects of biocompatibility and wear resistance are a review of the modern joint endoprosthetic designs. Data on clinical aspects of endoprosthetics are cited in support of the text. Advancements in genetic engineering, and the promotion of new techniques of designing bone and cartilage transplants are explored;

An exceptional resource for orthopedists, biophysics, immunology and engineers in developing artificial joints.
