Dr. Kevin L. Ong is a senior managing engineer in Exponent’s Biomedical Engineering practice. He holds degrees in mechanical engineering (B.S. and Ph.D., Cornell University). His area of interest is in product design evaluation and failure analysis of medical devices. Dr. Ong has received two awards from the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons for his research on clinical outcomes, as well as an award from the British Orthopaedic Research Society/British Orthopaedic Trainees Association for his research in hip resurfacing. Dr. Ong also currently holds a visiting research professor appointment at the Drexel University School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, Philadelphia, PA.
Jonathan Black, FBSE, adjunct professor of biomedical engineering (Cornell University), holds degrees in physics (BS, Cornell University), engineering science (ME, The Pennsylvania State University) and metallurgy (biomaterials) (PhD, University of Pennsylvania). Before his appointment as the first occupant of the Hunter Chair of Bioengineering at Clemson in 1988, he was for 17 years a member of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania with a secondary appointment in the Department of Bioengineering. In 1992-5, he was a Senior Visiting Fellow in the IRC for Biomaterials at Queen Mary and Westfield College (London, UK), with support from an SERC Fellowship. In 2011, he was appointed adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA.
Dr. Scott Lovald holds degrees in mechanical engineering (B.S. and Ph.D., University of New Mexico), manufacturing engineering (M.E., University of New Mexico), and business (M.B.A., University of New Mexico). He is currently a senior associate in Exponent’s Biomedical Engineering Practice. His past experience has included various positions focused on medical implant design and research. Immediately prior to working at Exponent, Dr. Lovald initiated and directed the research, seed funding, design, manufacturing, FDA 510(k) clearance, and post-market study Investigational Review Board approval of a novel trauma system that has been the subject of numerous peer-reviewed journal publications and subsequently introduced into a Level I trauma center.
"This book is designed to serve three primary functions. First, it
can serve as a guide for a course of lectures to residents. Second,
it can serve as a review for the various orthopedic surgical exams.
And third, it serves as a survey of biomaterial aspects of
orthopedic surgery. The book certainly satisfies these worthy
objectives. … The authors have been recognized as authorities in
the field of biomaterials for many years. … This is an excellent
and stimulating treatise for academic orthopedic surgeons
interested and concerned about materials being implanted in their
patients and the expected outcomes. It makes a reader feel like an
engineer and scientist as well as a surgeon. This updated second
edition is truly essential to the academic orthopedic surgical
library. … Weighted numerical score: 94 - 4 Stars."
—Samuel J. Chmell, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of
Medicine, USA, from Doody’s Book ReviewsTM"This book fills an
important need for the orthopaedic community, from the resident and
fellow, to the novice or seasoned orthopaedic surgeon. This book is
also useful for engineers and others interested in Basic and
applied musculoskeletal research and development. The book is
written in a straightforward, but comprehensive manner with
practical clinical examples, and questions and answers to test the
reader’s understanding of the concepts."
––Stuart Goodman, Stanford University, California, USA"This
excellent, engaging, very well written and illustrated textbook
presents a modern and up to date overview of orthopaedic
biomaterials of relevance to clinical applications. It should be
mandatory reading for anyone engaged in orthopaedic research and/or
clinical practice."
––Professor Tony Miles, Director, Centre for Orthopaedic
Biomechanics, University of Bath, UK"This book is the only volume
currently available in orthopaedic biomaterials that provides
information on what has been achieved in the past and what needs to
be accomplished for the future. It deserves to be required reading
for young bioengineers, for orthopaedic trainees and for all of
those interested in the application of materials technology to the
practice of orthopaedic surgery."
—Michael T. Manley, Ph.D, Homer Stryker Center
