Biomechanics of the Locomotor Apparatus

Focusing on anatomical research driven by clinical questions, this book serves as a resource for practicing surgeons, emphasizing the importance of solid anatomical knowledge in orthopaedic surgery. It traces the evolution of theories, particularly those of W. Roux, who advocated for a uniform theory of functional adaptation. The work also acknowledges advancements by ST. KROMPECHER regarding chondrogenesis and fracture healing, ultimately highlighting the limitations of older theories as new discoveries emerge in the field.
