annotated bibliography
1. Bechtol CO, Ferguson AB, Laing FG: Metals and Engineering
in Bone and Joint Surgery . Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, 1959.
Chapter 6 is a good description of early work on the strength of bone
and the effects of stress concentration.
2. Donald GD, Pope MH: Design of intramedullary nails. In Seligson D
(ed): Concepts in Intramedullary Nailing . Grune & Stratton, Philadelphia,
1985.
An excellent discussion of intramedullary nail design features with an
emphasis on mechanical requirements.
3. Frankel VH, Burstein AH: Orthopaedic Biomechanics . Lea &
Febiger, Philadelphia, 1970.
Chapter 2 discusses stress and strain and the deformation of structures.
Chapter 3 contains some material on energy of deformation. Chapter 7
covers the design of fixation devices. A useful supplementary source.
4. Weightman B: Stress analysis. In Swanson SAy, Freeman MAR (eds):
The Scientific Basis of Joint Replacement . John Wiley, Chichester, 1977.
Detail on internal stress distributions as a function of loading condi-
tions. A good brief discussion of experimental methods for determining
strain distributions.
5. Williams DF, Roaf R: Implants in Surgery . WB Saunders, London,
1973.
Plasticity is briefly covered on pp. 80-83. Deformation of structures
and performance of devices are well covered in Chapter 7 (pp. 364-375,
394-409). This topic contains extremely thorough citations to prior work.
