Synopsis

Increasing numbers of joint revision and replacement operations drives the demand for improved prostheses. This book comprehensively reviews developments in joint replacement technology, covering the most pertinent materials science and engineering issues, specific joints, clinical trial results and sterilisation techniques. Part 1 discusses biomechanics, tribology, the chemical environment of the body and an overview of materials and engineering of joint replacement. The second part of the book reviews specific materials, bearing surfaces and bone cements, in addition to the failure mechanisms and lifetime prediction of joints. Part 3 discusses the biological environment and interaction of replacement joints. Specific joints are analysed in detail in Part 4.

Key Features: reviews joint biomechanics and tribology; considers the use of metals and ceramics as joint replacement materials, joint design and bone cements; summarises research on prosthetic interaction with the body; discusses drug delivery systems to enhance joint replacement; analyses key issues in paticular joint replacements including the hip, knee, ankle and shoulder.

Contents: Part 1 Introduction: Biomechanics of joints; Tribology in joint replacement; Biomaterials and the chemical environment of the body; Materials for joint replacement; Regulatory issues affecting joint replacement: The case of the UK.
