Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "...Drs. Lieberman and Friedlaender have done an excellent job constructing and organizing the chapters so that all of the key topics such as the biology of bone grafts, bone graft substitutes, gene therapy, and the application of bone grafts in a variety of clinical settings are presented." -Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery "...anyone who is actively engaged in basic or clinical research on topics related to bone regerenation and repair would be well served to have a copy." -Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery "This book written by US experts provides current knowledge on the biology of bone formation and repair. … It is of interest to scientists in the field of bone physio-pathology, orthopedic surgeons and those working with musculo-skeletal system such as physiotherapists, sport physicians, as well as pediatricians seeing patients with bone anomalies."

From the Back Cover

With their rapid evolution, both the development of recombinant proteins and the application of gene therapy techniques promise to revolutionize the treatment of bone and cartilage repair. In Bone Regeneration and Repair: Biology and Clinical Applications, a panel of leading orthopedic and craniofacial surgeons and researchers comprehensively reviews the biology of bone formation and repair, the basic science of autologous bone graft, allograft, bone substitutes, and growth factors, and explores their clinical application in patients with bone repair problems. Authoritative and state-of-the-art, Bone Regeneration and Repair: Biology and Clinical Applications will not only stimulate investigators to pursue a deeper understanding of how best to harness the body's inherent regenerative capability, but also greatly enhance the day-to-day care of patients.
