Total Knee Arthroplasty (eBook)

Total Knee Arthroplasty: Medical and Biomedical Engineering and Science Concepts provides an extensive overview of the most recent advancements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through a thorough review of the literature in medicine, engineering, and technology. Coverage includes the most recent engineering and computing techniques, such as robotics, biomechanics, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), machine learning (ML), and optimization, as well as the medical and surgical aspects of pre-existing conditions, surgical procedure types, surgical complications, patient care, and psychological factors. This book will be a valuable introduction to TKA concepts and advances for academics, students, and researchers.

Emre Tokgoz, Ph.D., is currently the Director and an Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering at Quinnipiac University. He completed a Ph.D. in mathematics, a Ph.D. in industrial engineering, an MS in computer science, and an MA in mathematics at the University of Oklahoma. He also completed an MS and a BA in mathematics at the University of Ankara, Turkey. Due to his interest in biomedical engineering applications of mathematics and engineering, he started to pursue an online biomedical engineering master's degree for professionals at Johns Hopkins University.
