Description

Joint Replacement in the Human Body provides a comprehensive exploration of artificial joint designs.

The book's primary focus is to introduce readers to the diverse landscape of artificial joint technologies while offering insights into their historical development.

This book is divided into three sections, each addressing specific aspects of joint replacements.

The first section delves into artificial joints of the lower limb, including the hip, knee, and ankle.

In the subsequent section, the book explores upper limb replacements, covering joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, and thumb. The third section tackles broader themes like biotribology, regulatory aspects of joint replacements, examines noteworthy case studies like metal-on-metal hips, and addresses joint replacements not easily categorized in the previous sections, such as spinal total disc replacements.

This book offers a critical assessment of the diverse and evolving design concepts currently in use, ranging from established metal-on-polymer joints to innovative biomimetic solutions.

This book is designed to swiftly equip readers with a deep understanding of contemporary joint replacements and the immediate and long-term challenges they present.
