Multiscale modelling and team science: the future of orthopaedic biomechanics

Multiscale modelling in biomechanics

Species distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats

The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...

Long Term Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients under 30

Background:  We aimed to report outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients under the year of 30.   Methods:  Thirty patients (45 hips) with various indications for THA were retrospectively reviewed radiologically and clinically and analyzed regarding survival, reasons of failure, factors associated with outcomes and postoperative complications.   Results:  Within a mean fol...

Review of "Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Mechano-Biology" 3rd Edition, by Van C. Mow and Rik Huiskes

This book begins with a brief history of science and orthopaedic biomechanics, where the authors discuss how the conflict and inconsistencies of accepted paradigms are challenged by new tools and experiments, leading to new ways of addressing problems in the field. Although there are often "titanic" struggles involved in making such paradigm shifts, conflict is often a necessary first step in t...
