From the reviews: "...Drs. Lieberman and Friedlaender have done an excellent job constructing and organizing the chapters so that all of the key topics such as the biology of bone grafts, bone graft substitutes, gene therapy, and the application of bone grafts in a variety of clinical settings are presented." -Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery "...anyone who is actively engaged in basic or clinical research on topics related to bone regerenation and repair would be well served to have a copy." -Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery "This book written by US experts provides current knowledge on the biology of bone formation and repair. ... It is of interest to scientists in the field of bone physio-pathology, orthopedic surgeons and those working with musculo-skeletal system such as physiotherapists, sport physicians, as well as pediatricians seeing patients with bone anomalies."
