This book focuses on the current clinical practice, outcome and the future development of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in surgical settings. A major objective of this work is to address “What is the optimal design and fixation of the implants we use for knee arthroplasty reconstruction? What are the gold standards? and, Can we do better?”. In an attempt to throw light on these questions, the authors evaluate data from clinical studies and assess various factors which may influence the long term outcome of TKA. Many variables such as age, severity, implant design and surgical techniques for appropriate component placement and soft tissue balancing are explored in great detail by expert surgeons in the field. Total Knee Arthroplasty: Long Term Outcomes will be a useful resource for recently qualified surgeons in search of an introduction to this topic and for more experienced surgeons seeking an in-depth critical review of current practices in TKA.
The book deals with the theme of incompressible flows of electrically conducting fluids in hydraulic components. The main content of the book is a result of engineering research associated with the design of liquid metal cooling systems for fusion reactors. The book is well suited to serve as a guide for utilising magnetohydrodynamic means in other engineering disciplines such as in material processing, metallurgical engineering and power engineering.
The Second Conference of the International Society of Hemorheology took place under the auspices of the University of Heidelberg from July 27 - August 1,1969 in Heidel berg. At this conference the name of the Society was changed to THE INTERNA TIONAL SOCIETY OF BIORHEOLOGY, since the members decided to enlarge the scope of the Society to include all fields of biorheology. Meanwhile the Society has become an Affiliated Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics. The abstracts of the scientific papers, as they appeared in the program of the Confe rence, have been reprinted in BIORHEOLOGY (volume 6, No.4, April 1970). This international journal has become the official ...

Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in engineering, this text introduces the concepts of plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics from a physical viewpoint. The first section of the three-part treatment deals mainly with the properties of ionized gases in magnetic and electric fields, essentially following the microscopic viewpoint. An introduction surveys the concepts of ionized gases and plasmas, together with a variety of magnetohydrodynamic regimes. A review of electromagnetic field theory follows, including motion of an individual charged particle and derivations of drift motions and adiabatic invariants. Additional topics include kinetic theory, derivation of elec...
Every scientific subject probably conceals unexplored or little investigated strata, which may show up at the proper time when favourable conditions coincide (practical demands, a circle of scientists prepared to recognize the novelty and capable of giving impetus to the development of a new theory, etc.). Something like this occurred in early seventies for magnetohydrodynamics, which at the time was considered to be a relatively complete branch of hydro dynamics with no apparent broad, unexplored areas. It was unexpectedly realized that, in addition to the traditional methods of affecting an electrically conducting medium, there is yet another way, one which subsequently lead to a new direc...
Written and edited by the foremost experts in knee surgery, this definitive two-volume reference provides comprehensive coverage of the evaluation and surgical management of problems of the adult knee. In 117 detailed chapters, the text covers basic science, clinical science, soft tissue injury of the knee, tendon and ligament surgery, osteochondral injury to the knee, patella femoral disorders, alternatives to arthroplasty for knee arthritis, primary total knee arthroplasty, perioperative management in total knee replacement, complications of total knee replacement, revision total knee arthroplasty, and future developments.
