Interactions of Bone with Orthopedic Implants and Possible Failures delves into the intricate mechanical and biological factors that can lead to the failure of the implant-bone construct. It offers comprehensive discussions on the impact of various engineering parameters, including design, process, surface, and others, on the interaction between implants and bone tissue. For implant designers, understanding the final effects of their designs, along with performance parameters, is of paramount importance. Similarly, orthopedic surgeons must possess a thorough understanding of the background of the design and process parameters of the implants they intend to insert into patients' bodies. By gaining insights from this book, surgeons can explore a wider range of implant options, while implant designers can create and develop innovative new implant designs. Furthermore, this book serves as a valuable resource for biomechanical and mechanical engineers who specialize in testing and analyzing orthopedic implants. It enables them to examine the biomechanical behavior of implants and their interaction with bone tissue, contributing to the advancement of the field.
