Effects of Joint Incongruity on Articular Pressure Distribution and Subchondral Bone Remodeling /
This book reviews the existing literature on joint incongruity, on cellular mechano-transduction of bone, on computer simulations of biological adaptation processes and on embryonic joint development. It describes finite element models and biomechanical experiments that attempt to quantify the effec...
