MATERIALS AND DEVICES FOR BONE DISORDERS - SUSM...

Materials for Bone Disorders is written by a cross-disciplinary team of research scientists 
engineers  and clinicians and bridges the gap between materials science and bone disorders 
providing integrated coverage of biomaterials and their applications. The bioceramics 
biopolymers  composites  and metallic materials used in the treatment of bone disorders are
introduced  as are their interactions with cells  biomolecules  and body tissues. The main
types of bone disorder and disease are covered including osteoporosis  spinal injury  load
bearing joint diseases  bone cancer  and forms of cranio-maxillofacial disorders. Bone
disorders are common across all ages. Various forms of bone disorders can change the lifestyle
of otherwise normal and healthy people. With the development of novel materials  many forms of
bone disorders are becoming manageable  allowing people to lead a fairly normal life. Specific
consideration is given to areas where recent advances are enabling new treatments  such as the
use of resorbable ceramics in bone tissue engineering and drug delivery  newer polymer-based
implants in load-bearing contexts  and engineering biomaterials surfaces including modifying
surface chemistry. Ethical and regulatory issues are also explored.
