Soft Tissue. Composition, Mechanisms of Injury and Repair

Description:

Soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body, not being bone. Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes (which are connective tissue), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels (which are not connective tissue). In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the composition, mechanisms of injury and repair of soft tissue. Topics discussed include the soft tissue biomechanics of diabetic foot ulcers; cellular and physiological soft tissue response in hip arthroplasty; peri-implant soft tissues in orthodontic anchorage; connecting tissue injuries and mechanical properties; MRI findings of myopathies in soft tissue; and soft tissue behavior after mandibular symphysis bone graft harvesting.
