The landscape of orthopaedics and trauma is rapidly evolving, driven by groundbreaking advancements in biomaterials. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the current state-of-the-art, highlighting the latest innovations and their clinical applications.
The intersection of materials science and medicine has given rise to a revolutionary field: biomaterials. These engineered substances, designed to interact with biological systems, have become indispensable in orthopaedics and trauma surgery. From repairing broken bones to replacing worn-out joints, biomaterials have significantly advanced patient care and quality of life.
In recent years, the focus has shifted towards bioactive and biodegradable materials. Bioactive materials, such as calcium phosphate ceramics, actively interact with bone tissue, promoting bone growth and integration. This characteristic is particularly valuable in bone grafts and tissue engineering applications. On the other hand, biodegradable materials, like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA), offer the advantage of being gradually absorbed by the body as the surrounding tissue regenerates. These materials are employed in various forms, including screws, plates, and bone scaffolds.
This book offers a holistic view of biomaterials in orthopaedics and trauma by presenting an understanding of the fundamental properties of biomaterials and exploring their role in tissue regeneration and implant design. This comprehensive resource also delves into the future, examining emerging trends and technologies that are revolutionizing patient care and paving the way for new treatment modalities. This book is an essential guide to the exciting world of biomaterials for orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons and biomedical researchers.
