Main description:

This volume is the third in the series Recent Advances in Orthopedics, bringing orthopaedic surgeons, musculoskeletal research scientists and trainees fully up to date with the latest advances in the field.

Divided into seven sections, each chapter discusses new techniques and technologies for the management of disorders in the different musculoskeletal subspecialties, explaining the basic science and its clinical applications.

Topics include biofilm-related infections, skeletal adaptation to load, biomarkers for musculoskeletal disease, degenerative disk disease, hip disease, fibrosis and post-traumatic joint stiffness, and microenvironmental cues in tendon injury and repair.

Each chapter highlights the latest developments in the relevant musculoskeletal research.

Edited by renowned, US-based experts, this resource is further enhanced by clinical photographs and figures.
