骨科生物力学研究的发展与现状

临床应用减轻了退化性关节炎患者的痛苦。本期《医用生物力学》杂志选刊了11篇相关研究论文,内容涵盖了组织工程研究、运动医学研究、脊柱生物力学及人工关节生物力学研究等,从临床应用到基础研究都有,研究采用了材料试验机测试或计算机仿真有限元分析等基本方法。使读者了解生物力如何运用于骨科方面的研究,期望更多读者在临床中发现适合于骨科生物力学的研究题材。

Development and current status of orthopaedic biomechanics research

Orthopaedic biomechanics means to apply biomechanics methods to resolve clinical problems in orthopaedics, especially when mechanical principles are used, lots of problems unsolved could be ravel out. For instance, the design and clinical application of artificial joint replacement with the help of biomechanics can ease the patients' pain suffering from degenerative arthritis. 11 papers related with orthopaedics biomechanics published in this special issue involve in the study on tissue engineering, sports medicine, spine and artificial joints from both the clinical application and basic research with the methods of material testing machines and finite element analysis by computer. These articles could help readers understand how mechanics is used in orthopaedic research and hope to encourage them to find more issues suitable to use orthopaedics biomechanics to research in the clinic practice.
