About the Author
Prof. Bernardo Innocenti has been working in the field of knee orthopaedic biomechanics from more than 17 years. During his entire career he has been involved in several research projects that, applying experimental and computational methodologies, alone or together, investigate the kinematics and the kinetics of the human knee joint, in healthy or pathologic conditions and, also, with a prosthesis. He is author of co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications about knee biomechanics. The analysis of the musculoskeletal loading in healthy and pathological subjects, the stress distribution in bone and in implant, and the study of prosthesis design, together with the simulation of bone remodeling and implant wear, are also additional fields in which he has been involved.
Prof Fabio Galbusera has been working for the last 15 years in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics. His experience includes both experimental and numerical investigations, as well as clinical studies in the field of orthopaedics, with a focus on spine surgery. He is author of co-author of more than 120 peer-reviewed publications about spine biomechanics, imaging and related fields in orthopaedics. Regarding books, in 2018 he edited the book "Biomechanics of the Spine: Basic Concepts, Spinal Disorders and Treatments" together with Prof. Hans-Joachim Wilke, published by Academic Press, Elsevier Inc.
