Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the skeletal system is important in understanding the workings of the body and its means of repair. This volume describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments, taking a rigorous approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton, without neglecting the biological properties of skeletal tissue.
