Book SynopsisThe femur, or thigh bone, is the only bone in the thigh and is the longest bone in the body. It acts as the site of origin and attachment for many muscles and ligaments, and the head forms a ball and socket joint with the hip. The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. Femoral neck fractures are a type intracapsular hip fracture – the junctional location makes the neck prone to fracture. A broken femur of any type is a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. Broken femurs are treated with surgery and physical therapy, and can take months to heal. Beginning with an introduction to the anatomy and biomechanics of the hip, this book is a comprehensive guide to the clinical evaluation and management of femoral neck fractures. Treatment methods examined include both traditional and new techniques. Management of fractures in specific sectors of the population such as in paediatric and geriatric patients, are also covered. The text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, illustrations and figures.

Book SynopsisWhat are bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and how can they be used in orthopaedic practice? Ever since Urist proposed in 1976 that protein factors from cortical bone appeared to modulate bone healing in animals, there has been a search for these mysterious osteoinductive components. Now that their structure has been elucidated, they have been purified and cloned, and are now available for the improvement of bone healing.The best source of BMPs is demineralised bone. This bone allograft is used to achieve greater osteoinductive capacity. But are the actions of procurement, processing, demineralisation and sterilisation harmful to the BMPs? Unless the BMPs can be assayed, neither their clinical nor their scientific effectiveness can be appraised. All these aspects are logically and scientifically described in this volume. In addition, there is a review of the biochemistry of one of the two main components of bone, namely collagen. This subject is itself a confusing but rapidly growing field. This comprehensive review describes the procedures for building up bone in vivo and in vitro.Bone Morphogenetic Protein and Collagen answers most of the questions of orthopaedic surgeons and tissue bankers on how BMPs can be produced and used to their maximum effectiveness.Table of ContentsFrom Bone Allografts to Synthetic Bone Grafts - Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Osteoinduction; The Osteoinductive Properties of Demineralised Bone Matrix Grafts; Processing Factors Contributing to Production of Maximally Osteoinductive Demineralized Ground Bone; Clinical Effectiveness of Demineralized Bone Matrix Assayed in Human Cell Culture; The Influence of Sterilization on the Osteoinductive Properties of Bone in Rat Bone Marrow Cell Culture; Collagen Biochemistry: An Overview.

Book SynopsisOver the last two decades, there have been numerous exciting developments in the surgical field of articular cartilage repair. Magnetic resonance imaging plays a critical role in pre-operative surgical planning, through its ability to identify the extent and severity of cartilage lesions. It also plays an important role in post-operative management, by allowing surgeons to noninvasively monitor the morphological status of repaired cartilage tissue.This book covers recent advances in ultra high field MRI and biochemical MRI techniques such as T2 mapping, delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC), gagCEST and sodium MRI. It is written by a multidisciplinary team including basic scientists, radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and biomedical engineers.

Book SynopsisBone circulation is important to our understanding of many major orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, repair, and tumors. Yet, circulatory physiology, basic to all healthy organs and most diseases, has been difficult to study in the skeleton. The biological regulation of blood flow is complex and the tissues have been relatively inaccessible to measurement. In recent years, however, advances have been made in understanding circulatory physiology and fluid flow in bone, functional measurement of blood flow, and the roles of circulation in bone turnover and repair. These advances have enhanced our insights into bone homeostasis and the interrelationships of circulation and skeletal biology, including repair and disease.This seminal volume presents updated information on circulatory physiology of bone and fluid flow through the bone matrix. It then describes new techniques in quantifying and imaging bone circulation. A clinical section covering circulatory elements of skeletal diseases provides valuable insight into pathophysiology that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets.Table of ContentsPhysiology: The Physiology of Bone Circulation (Ian McCarthy & Ines Reichert); Molecular Transport in Musculoskeletal Health and Disease (Melissa L Knothe Tate, Roy Aaron, Anita Ignatius, Stan Rockson & Lauren Kark); Techniques of Measurement of Bone Circulation: Microsphere Method for Investigation of Bone Blood Flow (Hermann Anetzberger & Christof Birkenmaier); Laser Doppler Flowmetry (Seth O'Donnell, Scott Ritterman & Lee Rubin); Engineering and Clinical Aspects of Photoplethysmography (Roy K Aaron, Oussama Fadil, Jennifer Racine & Domenico Pacifici); MRI and PET (Jonathan Dyke); Pathophysiology of Skeletal Circulation: Circulatory Pathology in Osteonecrosis (Lynne C Jones & Roy K Aaron); Osteonecrosis in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Other Hematologic Disorders (Luke M Vaughan, Sarah A Long, Thomas Santamaria, Marc J Kahn, Josephina A Vossen, Miriam A Bredella, Alan L Schiller & Henry J Mankin); Fractures and Bone Repair (Dean G Lorich & Lionel E Lazaro); Joint Inflammation and Synovitis (Alissa J Burge); Circulatory Pathology in Osteoarthritis (Roy K Aaron); Osteoporosis, Circulation, and Fluid Dynamics (Bing Zang, Jaime Mateus & Alan Hargens); Circulation of the Pediatric and Adolescent Hip (Jeremy Doak, Jonathan Schiller & Craig Eberson);
