Osteoporosis affects 28 million people in the United States alone. The

need for stable internal fixation of this type of bone is paramount. Metabolic

bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, and

Paget's disease, are usually associated with osteoporotic or soft skeleton,

especially in the elderly patient. Orthopedic procedures in elderly patients are

costly and with the increasing age of the population these costs will continue

to escalate. Great challenges are often encountered when internal fixation is

needed for fractures or osteotomies in osteoporotic bone.

This book is designed

to present both current clinical techniques and cutting-edge knowledge in

pre-clinical research on the internal fixation of osteoporotic

bone.
