Effects of Joint Incongruity on Articular Pressure Distribution and Subchondral Bone Remodeling

This book reviews the existing literature on joint incongruity, on cellular mechano-transduction of bone, on computer simulations of biological adaptation processes and on embryonic joint development. It describes finite element models and biomechanical e
