Advances in the understanding of skeletal morphogenesis
and growth have not been systematically applied to our understanding
of clinical problems. This important new work will enable physicians
to take full advantage of recent scientific progress to develop
new, more effective treatment options.
A new realm of alternatives will develop from our
understanding of pathogenesis and the response of cells and tissues
to specific treatments.
More than 35 orthopaedic surgeons, cell and molecular
biologists, and bioengineers define current clinical issues and
knowledge, identify potential applications for basic concepts to
clinical problems, and list specific directions for future research.
Based on a 1997 workshop sponsored by the Academy, the Orthopaedic
Research and Educational Foundation, and the NIH. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. (Promotional copy courtesy of the AAOS.)
