Synopsis

Osseointegration is an area of medicine that has resulted from a greater understanding of how to unite bone and metal. In this medical handbook, Branemark (Branemark Osseointegration Center, Sweden), one of the pioneers of the field, presents 25 chapters covering the history, principles, and current state of the art of osseointegration in facial reconstruction, orthopedics, and other areas. Among the topics covered are connective tissue as the environment receiving tissue implants, osseoperception, psychological and quality of life aspects of endentulousness and treatment with dental implants, radiology in the planning and monitoring of osseointegration, transfer of mechanical load across the interface, soft tissue reconstruction and management, maxillectomy and rehabilitation, bone anchored hearing aids, bone anchored amputation prostheses for the upper limb, and physiotherapy for patients having a trans-femoral amputation. The volume is illustrated throughout with color illustrations and photographs. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
