Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice

Revised, expanded, and updated, Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice, Second Edition introduces materials science and applies it to medical research and treatment. This book incorporates math and engineering, which makes it accessible to trainees and others working in the industry who are lacking primary mathematical and engineering training.

Whats New in the Second Edition:

In the second edition, the new material includes regeneration, hybrid and replant materials, tissue engineering, electrical stimulation for tissue growth and repair, modeling of material behavior in service, and long-term function of materials in patients. It explores tools for non-destructive and destructive analysis of explanted devices, and provides updates on all material classes including shape memory and degradable alloys, fracture-resistant ceramics, and bioabsorbable polymers. It provides a compendium for implant host response including in-depth discussion of metallosis and hypersensitive response. It also adds new case studies, worked problems, and a complete self-evaluation test with annotated answers.

  • Includes focused, practical study questions after each chapter
  • Presents extensive, detailed figures accompanying example problems and concepts
  • Provides a one-stop reference for understanding all biomaterials that are used in contemporary orthopaedic surgery and beyond
  • Introduces key concepts of relevance in each chapter


Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice, Second Edition serves as a textbook for

orthopaedic residents. It can also serve as a review for the Orthopaedists In-Training Examination (OITE), the Orthopaedic Self-Assessment Examination, or the Orthopaedic Board Examination. See more

About Jonathan BlackKevin L. OngScott Lovald

Dr. Kevin L. Ong is a senior managing engineer in Exponents Biomedical Engineering practice. He holds degrees in mechanical engineering (B.S. and Ph.D. Cornell University). His area of interest is in product design evaluation and failure analysis of medical devices. Dr. Ong has received two awards from the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons for his research on clinical outcomes as well as an award from the British Orthopaedic Research Society/British Orthopaedic Trainees Association for his research in hip resurfacing. Dr. Ong also currently holds a visiting research professor appointment at the Drexel University School of Biomedical Engineering Science and Health Systems Philadelphia PA.Jonathan Black FBSE adjunct professor of biomedical engineering (Cornell University) holds degrees in physics (BS Cornell University) engineering science (ME The Pennsylvania State University) and metallurgy (biomaterials) (PhD University of Pennsylvania). Before his appointment as the first occupant of the Hunter Chair of Bioengineering at Clemson in 1988 he was for 17 years a member of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania with a secondary appointment in the Department of Bioengineering. In 1992-5 he was a Senior Visiting Fellow in the IRC for Biomaterials at Queen Mary and Westfield College (London UK) with support from an SERC Fellowship. In 2011 he was appointed adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University Ithaca NY USA.Dr. Scott Lovald holds degrees in mechanical engineering (B.S. and Ph.D. University of New Mexico) manufacturing engineering (M.E. University of New Mexico) and business (M.B.A. University of New Mexico). He is currently a senior associate in Exponents Biomedical Engineering Practice. His past experience has included various positions focused on medical implant design and research. Immediately prior to working at Exponent Dr. Lovald initiated and directed the research seed funding design manufacturing FDA 510(k) clearance and post-market study Investigational Review Board approval of a novel trauma system that has been the subject of numerous peer-reviewed journal publications and subsequently introduced into a Level I trauma center.
