Basic orthopaedic biomechanics & mechano-biology

"Completely revised to reflect the rapid strides occurring in orthopaedic biomechanics, the Third Edition of this classic text reflects the latest advances in research and the successful applications of biomechanical principles in the understanding of tissue properties and function, and fracture fixation, prosthetic implant design, and hip and knee arthroplasty."--Jacket.
