The first section covers basic topics, ranging from joints homeostasis and biomechanics, to genetics, bio-orthopedics, tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. The following sections are each dedicated to a specific joint – its functional anatomy, pathologic conditions, diagnostics and treatment. This book is of interest to orthopedists and sports medicine specialists treating common and complex injuries of the joints UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-82958-2 ER -
