This book integrates the current basic and clinical knowledge in the area of biophysical stimulation of osteoblast for in vitro and in vivo live bone generation. This innovative methodology and its applications are presented and discussed in several clinical conditions: treatment of fracture nonunion, spine stabilization, bone replacement after tumor resections, stabilization of failed joint endoprostheses in revision surgery and in treatment of bone loss (osteoporosis and osteopenia). The author analyses different types of biophysical stimulation of osteoblasts for bone regeneration, e.g. mechanical (static and alternating, including distraction osteogenesis), electromagnetic (pulsed, alternating, static), light (at different spectrum range, including laser), acoustic (including ultrasound), RF etc. Moreover, he summarizes and discusses the most significant findings for in vitro bone generation and its resulting clinical use as autologous bone graft without surgical morbidity. Reflecting the author’s extensive experience this book is an excellent source of knowledge and a valuable aid to clinical practice for all orthopedic surgeons, fellows, and researchers wanting to gain insights into this promising field. .

Hip surgery became a benchmark for large joint surgery development. Surgical techniques for the treatment of degenerative, developmental, and traumatic hip pathologies became a challenge, aiming to restore the patients' ambulation in otherwise disabling pathological conditions of the hip joint. In this book the authors present an overview of the pathological basis of the diseased hip and the currently available surgical solutions that provide long-term relief using a reconstructing surgical approach.The book aims to expose young orthopedic surgeons to exciting and continuously developing information on hip surgery, and experienced colleagues will benefit from concise information that might be beneficial in routine surgical activity.
