Textbook in PDF format

This book is part of a two-part volume book that highlights the latest advances in innovative bioceramics applied in the highly interdisciplinary area referred to as “translational medicine”. This volume predominantly written by surgeons in the fields of craniomaxillofacial, orthopedics, and spinal surgery, examines the translation of innovative bioceramics and bioceramics-based composite from the laboratory to a personalized surgical environment for the repair of damaged and diseased bone tissues. This book also covers the topic of osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder in which the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized it as a public health emergency due to the high number of subjects who exhibited the disease and the morbidity and mortality related to fractures. The book caters to biomaterials researchers and medical clinicians who are interested in incorporating innovative bioceramics to the above-mentioned applications.
