Biophysical Bone Behavior: Principles and Applications is the culmination of efforts to relate the biophysical phenomena in bone to bone growth and electrical behavior. Behari develops a bridge between the physics and biology of bone leading to its clinical applications, primarily electro stimulations in fracture healing and osteoporosis. The book is based upon the author’s own research work and his review articles in the area, updated with the latest research results.
Helps readers understand the behavior of bone under electrical stimulation from both fundamental and clinical aspects
Develops the relationship between the biophysics and biology of bone into an integral unit
Spans basic biophysical studies and clinical applications
Links the various topics together to give readers a holistic understanding of the area
Presents all major research findings about bone and biophysics
Biophysical Bone Behavior is intended for a wide variety of readers, including applied biologists or physical scientists and engineers with research interests in medical applications: biomaterials scientists and designers, bone tissue engineers, biophysicists, and biomechanists. Orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, radiologists, and physical rehabilitation practitioners will benefit from the clinical aspects and the underlying fundamentals Behari presents in the book.
