For undergraduate courses in orthopedic biomechanics

Inspired by the authors' own orthopaedic biomechanics courses, this text addresses the mechanical and structural aspects of the skeletal system - along with the analysis and design of orthopaedic implants that are used to repair the system when it is damaged. The text focuses on the fundamental topics of orthopaedic biomechanics, with a broad range of material that can be organised in various ways depending on the course's emphasis.

  • 1. The Musculoskeletal System
  • 2. Loads and Motion in the Musculoskeletal System
  • 3. Tissue Mechanics I: Bone
  • 4. Tissue Mechanics II: Soft Tissue
  • 5. Structural Analysis of Musculoskeltal Systems: Beam Theory
  • 6. Structural Analysis of Musculoskeltal Systems: Advanced Topics
  • 7. Bone-Implant Systems
  • 8. Fracture Fixation Devices
  • 9. Total Hip Replacements
  • 10. Total Knee Replacements
  • 11. Articulating Surfaces
