Cutting-edge solutions to current problems in orthopedics, supported by modeling and numerical analysis
Despite the current successful methods and achievements of good joint implantations, it is essential to further optimize the shape of implants so they may better resist extreme long-term mechanical demands. This book provides the orthopedic, biomechanical, and mathematical basis for the simulation of surgical techniques in orthopedics. It focuses on the numerical modeling of total human joint replacements and simulation of their functions, along with the rigorous biomechanics of human joints and other skeletal parts. The book includes:
An introduction to the anatomy and biomechanics of the human skeleton, biomaterials, and problems of alloarthroplasty
The definition of selected simulated orthopedic problems
Constructions of mathematical model problems of the biomechanics of the human skeleton and its parts
Replacement parts of the human skeleton and corresponding mathematical model problems
