Reihe: Topics in Bone Biology

The molecular and cellular approaches to the relationship of joint and bone problems distinguish this from other books on the topic. Advances in bone and joint biology enable practitioners to approach clinical problems more comprehensively. Emphasis on genetics and on newer viewpoints and approaches, exemplified by the possible effect of subchondral bone on osteoarthritis, gives a wider viewpoint to the reader and may enable novel approaches to solving a clinical problem.
