Description 1 online resource (xii, 322 pages) : illustrations (some color) Contents Chapter 1. Properties of Materials used in Orthopaedic Implant Systems -- Chapter 2. Failure Modes -- Chapter 3: The Design Process -- Chapter 4. The Ankle -- Chapter 5. The Hip -- Chapter 6. The Knee Summary Drs. Buechel, an orthopaedic surgeon, and Pappas, a professor of Mechanical Engineering, are the designers of several successful joint replacement systems. The most well-known of these is the pioneering LCS knee replacement. They have written this book for the users and designers of joint replacements. It is an attempt to convey to the reader the knowledge accumulated by the authors during their thirty five year effort on the development of replacement devices for the lower limb for the purpose of aiding the reader in their design and evaluation of joint replacement devices. The early chapters describe the engineering, scientific and medical principles needed for replacement joint evaluation. One must understand the nature and performance of the materials involved and their characteristics in vivo, i.e. the response of the body to implant materials. It is also essential to understand the response of the implants to applied loading and motion, particularly in the hostile physiological environment. A chapter describes the design methodology now required for joint replacement in the USA and EU countries. The remaining chapters provide a history of joint replacement, an evaluation of earlier and current devices and description of the design rationale for some of the authors devices with which the authors are, of course, quite familiar Analysis Engineering Orthopedics Biomedical engineering Biomaterials Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Artificial joints.
