Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments

Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments: Tissue Reconstruction looks at the structure and function of tendons and ligaments. Biological and synthetic biomaterials for their reconstruction and regeneration are reviewed, and their biomechanical performance is discussed.Regeneration tendons and ligaments are soft connective tissues which are essential for the biomechanical function of the skeletal system. These tissues are often prone to injuries which can range from repetition and overuse, to tears and ruptures. Understanding the biomechanical properties of ligaments and tendons is essential for their repair and regeneration.- Contains systematic coverage on how both healthy and injured tendons and ligaments work- Includes coverage of repair and regeneration strategies for tendons and ligaments- Presents an Interdisciplinary analysis on the topic
