Cartilage Tissue and Knee Joint Biomechanics

Cartilage, Tissue and Knee Joint Biomechanics: Fundamentals, Characterization and Modelling is a cutting-edge multidisciplinary book specifically focused on modelling, characterization and related clinical aspects. It takes a comprehensive approach towards mechanics, fundamentals, morphology and properties of Cartilage Tissue and Knee Joints. Leading researchers from health science, medical technologists, engineers, academics, government, and private research institutions across the globe have contributed to this book. This book is a very valuable resource for graduates and postgraduates, engineers, research scholars (primarily biomedical engineers, biomedical and material scientists, material and mechanical science and engineering, nanoscience and nanotechnology, medical technologists, bioengineers). This resource will be useful for those interested in the field of biomechanics of cartilages and mechanical modelling. All analytical techniques are discussed in the book.  The content also includes comprehensive real-world applications. As a reference for the total knee arthroplasty, this book focuses deeply on existing related theories (including: histology, design, manufacturing and clinical aspects) to assist readers in solving fundamental and applied problems in biomechanical and biomaterials characterization, modelling and simulation of human cartilages and cells. For biomedical engineers dealing with implants and biomaterials for knee joint injuries this book will guide you in learning the knee anatomy, range of motion, surgical procedures, physiological loading and boundary conditions, biomechanics of connective soft tissues, type of injuries, mechanical properties of the bone, cartilage, and soft tissues, imaging of the knee joint anatomy for designing of the knee prostheses, and any other topics that would be required for design, analyzing, and testing of the prostheses. A comprehensive resource on the knee joint and its connective soft tissues; content included spans biomechanics, biomaterials, biology, anatomy, imaging and surgical procedure Covers ISO and FDA based regulatory control and compliance in the manufacturing process Includes discussion and expression of the relation between knee anatomical parameters and knee biomechanics
