Bio= Living Mechanics= Forces and effects This includes studies of the tissues including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, muscle, and nerve, at multiple scales ranging from the single cell to whole body. (Bio) Mechanics Deformable Statics Dynamics Fluids Solids Kinematics Kinetics Stress Strain Linear Angular The study of mechanics in the human body divided into 2 areas: Kinematics – study of the variables that describe or quantify motion • Displacement • Velocity • Acceleration Kinetics – study of the variables that cause or influence motion • Forces • Torques • Mass Biomechanists use the principles of mechanics in the analysis of human movement to answer questions such as: 1. How can human performance be enhanced? 2. How can injuries be prevented? 3. How can rehabilitation from injury be expedited? By having an understanding of the principles of analysis in biomechanics and the biomechanical properties of the primary tissues of the musculoskeletal system, we will be able to understand the mechanics of normal movement at each region and to appreciate the effects of impairments on the pathomechanics of movement.

  • Biodegradable Materials for Bone Defect Repair Shuai Wei1, Jian-Xiong Ma1, Lai Xu2, Xiao-Song Gu2* and Xin-Long Ma1*
    Wei et al. Military Medical Research (2020) 7:54 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40779-020-00280-6 REVIEW Open Access Biodegradable materials for bone defect repair Shuai Wei1, Jian-Xiong Ma1, Lai Xu2, Xiao-Song Gu2* and Xin-Long Ma1* Abstract Compared with non-degradable materials, biodegradable biomaterials play an increasingly important role in the repairing of severe bone defects, and have attracted extensive attention from researchers. In the treatment of bone defects, scaffolds made of biodegradable materials can provide a crawling bridge for new bone tissue in the gap and a platform for cells and growth factors to play a physiological role, which will eventually be degraded and absorbed in the body and be replaced by the new bone tissue. Traditional biodegradable materials include polymers, ceramics and metals, which have been used in bone defect repairing for many years. Although these materials have more or fewer shortcomings, they are still the cornerstone of our development of a new generation of degradable materials. With the rapid development of modern science and technology, in the twenty-first century, more and more kinds of new biodegradable materials emerge in endlessly, such as new intelligent micro- nano materials and cell-based products. At the same time, there are many new fabrication technologies of improving biodegradable materials, such as modular fabrication, 3D and 4D printing, interface reinforcement and nanotechnology. This review will introduce various kinds of biodegradable materials commonly used in bone defect repairing, especially the newly emerging materials and their fabrication technology in recent years, and look forward to the future research direction, hoping to provide researchers in the field with some inspiration and reference.
