Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments : tissue reconstruction and regeneration Johanna Buschmann Author. Gabriella Meier Bürgisser Author. Duxford, United Kingdom : Woodhead Publishing is an imprint of Elsevier 2017 eng 1 online resource Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments: Tissue Reconstruction looks at the structure and function of tendons and ligaments. Biological and synthetic biomaterials for their reconstruction and regeneration are reviewed, and their biomechanical performance is discussed. Regeneration tendons and ligaments are soft connective tissues which are essential for the biomechanical function of the skeletal system. These tissues are often prone to injuries which can range from repetition and overuse, to tears and ruptures. Understanding the biomechanical properties of ligaments and tendons is essential for their repair and regeneration. / by Johanna Buschmann and Gabrielle Meier Bürgisser. </titleInfo> <topic>Connective tissues</topic> <topic>Tendons—Mechanical properties</topic> <topic>Ligaments—Mechanical properties</topic> <topic>Biomechanics</topic> <topic>Biomedical materials</topic> </subject> <identifier type="isbn">9780081004890</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://www-sciencedirect-com.libraryumpsa.idm.oclc.org/book/9780081004890/biomechanics-of-tendons-and-ligaments</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780081004890/biomechanics-of-tendons-and-ligaments</identifier> <location> <url>https://www-sciencedirect-com.libraryumpsa.idm.oclc.org/book/9780081004890/biomechanics-of-tendons-and-ligaments</url> </location> <location> <url>https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780081004890/biomechanics-of-tendons-and-ligaments</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">eng</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">240419</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20251125105828.0</recordChangeDate> <languageOfCataloging> <languageTerm authority="iso639-2b" type="code">eng</languageTerm> </languageOfCataloging> </recordInfo> </mods>
