Review

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 28-APR-05, Eduardo Abreu, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Children's Hospital of Boston, Boston, MA -- "This is an excellent book in orthopaedic biomechanics that will greatly benefit all members of the biomechanics community. It can be used as a text for beginning and advanced students, as well as a reference for both students and researchers at all levels, or for those who just want to learn something about biomechanics."-BioMedical Engineering OnLine

Product Description

Completely revised and updated, the Third Edition of this classic text reflects the latest advances in research on orthopaedic biomechanics and the successful applications of biomechanical principles in fracture fixation, prosthetic implant design, and hip and knee arthroplasty. For this Third Edition, Dr. Mow is joined by new co-editor Rik Huiskes, PhD, an Editor-in-Chief of theJournal of Biomechanicsand an internationally renowned authority in the field. New chapters cover biomaterials, biomechanical principles of cartilage and bone tissue engineering, and biomechanics of fracture fixation and fracture healing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good theory plus research book., Nov 9 2006

By Kristin N. Erickson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Mechano-Biology: A Guide for Massage Therapists (Hardcover)

This textbook does a fair job of covering the signifigant aspects of Bio-Mechanics. It is interesting that the chapters cover some theory of the subject and some current research summaries. If you are looking for a text on just the "engineering/math" aspects, this book may have too many other topics included. But for someone interested in seeing how the discussed concepts (bone generation, cartliage properties, etc) interact with real world research and findings, this book is a good example.
