Description
This volume presents a complete statistical analysis of data from the clinical trials of the wide variety of types of prostheses used in skeletal repair. The contributions are written by professionals in medicine, dentistry and engineering and cover all the information regarding the lifetime survivablility of each type of implant. The biomolecular and biomechanical factors responsible for the relative clinical success are described in the 16 chapters. This text should be useful reading for orthopaedic surgeons, dental implantologists and ENT surgeons, as well as senior graduate and postgraduate biomaterial, medical and dental students.
