Covering all state-of-the-art experimental research methods in orthopedic surgery and trauma
From bioinformatics to nanotechnology advances in basic research ultimately drive advances in
clinical care. This book provides a comprehensive summary of all current research methodologies
for translational and pre-clinical studies in biomechanics and orthopedic trauma surgery. With
this roadmap at hand specialists and trainees will have the tools to conduct high-quality
experimental research in any area of musculoskeletal science with a solid understanding of how
the findings can be applied in patient care. Special Features: - Utilizes the principles and
methodology of modern evidence-based medicine in pre-clinical musculoskeletal research- Offers
a comprehensive analysis of in vivo models for studying different components of the
musculoskeletal system- Demonstrates how principles of structural functional and numerical
biomechanics can be utilized in well-defined experimental research studies spanning topics from
fracture fixation to gait analysis to bone remodeling- Covers the role of new macroscopic CT
and ultrasound imaging techniques for assessing bone and cartilage function- Explores
cutting-edge developments in cell culture research molecular testing and tissue engineering-
Provides practical advice a glossary of key terminology and hundreds of illustrations to
familiarize clinicians with every aspect of designing and interpreting an effective research
study With 54 state-of-the-art chapters by orthopedic surgeons musculoskeletal physicians
biologists engineers physicists and mathematicians Experimental Research Methods in
Orthopedics and Trauma is the authoritative reference on the topic. It is essential for
clinicians basic researchers and orthopedic surgical trainees who need to understand
experimental research methodology
