Features: Biomechanics has a very close relationship with orthopedic trauma diseases. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines mechanics, medicine, biology, etc. Its development is bound to promote the rapid advancement of clinical medicine, especially orthopedics. By applying biomechanical knowledge, one can understand the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system, delve into the mechanisms of injury occurrence and development, and adopt the most appropriate protective and treatment measures to reduce the incidence of traumatic conditions. This provides scientific and practical therapeutic approaches, holding significant importance in the etiology, pathology, and treatment of orthopedic trauma diseases. This textbook primarily includes fundamental mechanical knowledge related to biomechanics, the biomechanical characteristics of bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments, as well as the biomechanical principles of orthopedic trauma treatments. The target readers are master's and doctoral students in orthopedic trauma, as well as physicians, teachers, and other researchers engaged in medical practice, teaching, and scientific research in the field of orthopedics.
