The Engineering of Human Joint Replacements
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-0-470-74027-9 (ISBN)
The Engineering of Human Joint Replacements covers the design, engineering, production and manufacture of human joint replacements, as well as associated engineering concerns such as surface coatings, orthopedic bone cement, the causes and effects of wear and tear, and rapid prototyping for clinical evaluation. Materials evaluation and selection is discussed, as well as production processes and insertion methods. The author provides an overview of skeletal anatomy and the effects of pain and deterioration in order to put the engineering principles into a medical context. Examples of joint replacements for the most common regions of the body are included, and aspects of clinical studies of these cases are discussed.
Key Features:
• Provides an overview of the engineering materials and processes involved in the manufacture of human joint replacements
• Sets the scene for engineers and clinicians embarking on research into joint replacements
• Includes clinical and industrial examples and points the way to future developments
• Provides information on medical device companies with an engineering guide to the requirements for joint replacement
The Engineering of Human Joint Replacements bridges the divide between engineering and orthopaedic surgery, offering an introductory text to young engineers entering the field, as well as a reference for medical staff who will benefit from an understanding of the materials and methods used in their design, engineering and manufacture.
Professor Joseph McGeough, Edinburgh University, UK Joseph McGeough is Regius Professor of Engineering Emeritus in the School of Engineering and Electronics at the University of Edinburgh. He assumed this role in 1983, having previously worked in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for the International Research and Development Company Ltd. which is now part of the Rolls Royce Group. He is a fellow of the IMechE and IEE, guest editor of the Journal of Materials Processing Technology, editor of the proceedings of the International Conference on Computer-Aided Production Engineering (CAPE), and has authored 3 books: Principles of Electrochemical Machining, Advanced Methods of Machining, and Micromachining of Engineering Materials (Editor). Recent research has been in the areas of non-traditional cutting, orthopaedic engineering, electrochemical machining and intelligent flooring.
