Orthopedics Research in Small Animals

This book presents comprehensive information on bone research, with a focus on bone healing, and is divided into 27 chapters that cover all aspects of orthopedic research in small and laboratory animals. The book provides essential knowledge about bone, fracture types and healing, bone grafts and substitutes, internal and external fixation techniques, and the role of stem cells, hormones, and biomaterials in fracture healing. The book also examines the use of herbal products, ceramic biomaterials, and osteoinducers in bone regeneration. The book is intended to meet the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate research scholars, as well as teachers, biologists, and clinicians involved in animal treatment and orthopedic research. The book contains over 150 high-quality photographs of internal fixation techniques, X-rays, undecalcified ground sections, scanning electron microscopy, 3-D CT scans, and histopathological stained sections used in various orthopedic interventions. This book will be a valuable resource for students, teachers, and research scholars in the field of orthopedic research, providing them with the latest information on bone research and its practical applications.
