"Orthopaedic surgery remains one of the most consistently innovative areas in medicine and surgery, with a higher percentage of close relationships between surgeons and equipment companies than in other areas of surgery in which I've worked. It is vital and lucrative area. In 2015, the total value of U.S. industry shipments for the products covered by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) categories was worth $43 billion and, in recent years, has experienced approximately 1.5 percent annual growth. Written for clinicians, researchers, students, and entrepreneurs, this concise yet comprehensive review presents a clear process to identify, invent, and implement new technology solutions that aid in effective and safe practice in orthopedic surgery. Includes practical advice on how to scope and scale markets, develop ideas within institutions, create business plans, and identify business partners. Written by a team of medical, engineering, and business experts, including executives from the equipment industry.Reflects the medical device industry increased globalization and focus on value-conscious healthcare.Features stories of technological developments that have shaped modern orthopaedic surgery practice. Reviews and evaluates emerging technologies, including reasons for success, reasons for failure, and lessons that can be applied to new solutions"--

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. The previous volume (9789352702879) published in 2018.

Orthopedic surgery is a field of medicine that is concerned with the surgical and nonsurgical management of musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative diseases, sports injuries and congenital disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Some of the procedures of orthopedic surgery are arthroplasty, arthroscopy, ankle replacement, corticotomy, corpectomy, femoral head ostectomy, etc. The surgical domain of traumatology and trauma surgery is a sub-specialty within orthopedic surgery, which is concerned with the operative management of major traumas and fractures. The management of traumas may involve procedures, such as hip arthroplasty, knee arthroplasty and soft-tissue knee reconstruction. Various orthopedic implants are used to support damaged bones or to replace missing joints. Such implants are implanted through internal fixation, and includes Moore's pin, Kuntscher nail, Charnley prosthesis, Baksi's prosthesis and Austin-Moore prosthesis, etc. This book explores all the important aspects of orthopedic surgery, in the present day scenario. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. It attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into this field.

Advances in Materials Science and Implant Orthopedic Surgery brings together experts from major university hospitals, materials scientists specializing in bio-materials, and development engineers working for implant manufacturers to address such issues as: mechanisms of fixation; foreign-body immune response; generation and consequences of ionic and wear debris; materials selection, design and manufacturing schemes; and surgical techniques to maximize the safety and efficacy of the devices.
