Editorial Reviews

Review

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery -- Praise for the First Edition (1991):|"This text is the work of sixteen authors, many of whom have been in the forefront of orthopaedic biomechanics for two decades. The well known and equally experienced editors have merged the individual contributions into what they promise to be a text on biomechanics suitable for 'senior level engineering students' and 'orthopaedic residents, with a basic engineering background.' What is delivered, however, is actually more than is promised. While the text is clearly geared for the student who has a technical background, much of the material is presented at a level that any orthopaedic resident could understand."--Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery

This review is from: Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics (Hardcover)

The book looks as good as new ! As far as the content goes, well, a few chapters don't seem to emerge from the preceding ones which sometimes can be a void space for no reason. But yeah, I'm satisfied with what I have and I plan to keep this book with me for good as a collection :) !
