Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface

This is the first inclusive and organized reference book on how to do mechanical testing of bone. The topic has not been adequately covered by any existing books on bone mechanics. The book will complement the major reference books on bone biomechanics. It responds to significant needs in the orthopaedic research community to know the basic mechanical principles in bone related research and most importantly how to conduct mechanical testing of bone specimens.
