Abstract

Orthopaedic medicine has developed and benefited from the advancement of related basic science. Current technologies such as joint replacement and internal fixation of fractures started from research on biocompatible biomaterials and on the understanding of body biomechanics. As ongoing research on life science may dramatically change the appearance of future orthopaedic medicine, it is very important to keep abreast with recent trends of related basic science. This review introduces the realm of basic sciences related to orthopaedic medicine along with comments on future perspectives.
