WOODHEAD PUBLISHING SERIES IN BIOMATERIALS BO...

Bone substitute biomaterials are fundamental to the biomedical sector  and have recently
benefitted from extensive research and technological advances aimed at minimizing failure rates
and reducing the need for further surgery. This book reviews these developments  with a
particular focus on the desirable properties for bone substitute materials and their potential
to encourage bone repair and regeneration. Part I covers the principles of bone substitute
biomaterials for medical applications. One chapter reviews the quantification of bone mechanics
at the whole-bone  micro-scale  and non-scale levels  while others discuss biomineralization 
osteoductivization  materials to fill bone defects  and bioresorbable materials. Part II
focuses on biomaterials as scaffolds and implants  including multi-functional scaffolds 
bioceramics  and titanium-based foams. Finally  Part III reviews further materials with the
potential to encourage bone repair and regeneration  including cartilage grafts  chitosan 
inorganic polymer composites  and marine organisms.
