A New Book on Biomaterials Launched to Revolutionize Orthopaedic and Trauma Treatment
India: The book "Biomaterials in Orthopaedics & Trauma: Current Status and Future Trends in Revolutionizing Patient Care" has been launched, published by Springer Nature.
Edited by Dr. Raju Vaishya, an orthopaedic surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi and academic leader known for his pioneering work in joint replacement and musculoskeletal research, and Dr. Sourabh Ghosh, professor and head of the Regenerative Engineering Laboratory at IIT Delhi, this unique book on a novel topic provides a comprehensive and forward-looking exploration of biomaterials in clinical practice.
Biomaterial is a substance, either natural or synthetic, designed to interact with biological systems for medical applications, such as treating, augmenting, or replacing tissues, organs, or bodily functions. Highlighting the importance of biomaterials in transforming musculoskeletal care, Dr. Vaishya shared with Medical Dialogues,
“Biomaterials—engineered substances designed to interact with biological systems—are now indispensable in repairing fractured bones, replacing joints, and supporting tissue regeneration. Their evolution has dramatically improved patient outcomes, reduced recovery times, and enhanced the quality of life for millions worldwide.”
The book distinguishes itself by combining fundamental principles with practical clinical applications, offering readers an in-depth understanding of the mechanical, chemical, and biological properties of biomaterials. It covers a wide range of applications, including implants, prosthetics, bone scaffolds, and tissue engineering, while also delving into strategies for improving implant integration and longevity.
Speaking about the uniqueness of the book, Dr. Sourabh Ghosh noted, “Our volume not only captures the established knowledge but also examines innovations such as novel alloy compositions, advanced surface treatments, and the exciting potential of smart materials that dynamically interact with the body. We have placed significant emphasis on emerging trends like bioactive and biodegradable materials, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and regenerative medicine.”
Targeted at orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, biomedical researchers, healthcare professionals, students, and industry experts, the book serves as a vital resource for anyone keen to stay at the forefront of clinical innovation and biomaterials science. “Biomaterials in Orthopaedics & Trauma," is more than a reference—it is a roadmap for the future of patient care, bridging the gap between cutting-edge materials science and clinical excellence,” Dr. Vaishya added.
The book is now available through Springer, Singapore, and is poised to become an essential guide in revolutionizing orthopaedic and trauma care globally.
