Applications of Nanocomposite Materials in Orthopedics

Applications of Nanocomposite Materials in Orthopedics provides a solid understanding of recent developments in the field of nano-composites used in orthopedics. The book covers joint replacement, the load bearing capability of fractured bones, bone soft tissue regeneration, hard tissue replacement, artificial bone grafting, bone repair, bone tissue transplantations, and related topics, thus helping readers understand how to resolve problems associated with bone fracture and orthopedic surgery. A variety of nanocomposite materials are discussed, with their properties and preparation methods given.

• Outlines the use of nanotechnology for bone tissue transplantation
• Describes nanocomposites for bone grafting and artificial bones, also including their properties
• Includes discussions on tissue engineering of bone and tissue regeneration and transplantation
• Describes many composite materials and their preparation methods
