Up one level:

Orthopedic Surgery (ORTHO) Courses

Primarily for graduate students; undergraduates may enroll with consent of instructor.

ORTHO 222. Anatomy of Movement

Perspectives include orthopedic surgery, neurology, mechanical engineering, computer science, anthropology, and art. Anatomy and pathology affecting the human locomotor system. Normal function and functional deficit from disease or injury. Engineering dilemmas that assist or emulate human movement, such as design of an artificial joint or simulation of tendon transfers for nerve palsy. The expression of human movement in art masterpieces and photography. The evolution of the hand as it became an instrument of purpose. Student team projects. Lecture only for 2 units; project for 4 units.

2-4 units, Win (Ladd, A; Rose, J)

ORTHO 260. Tissue Engineering

Biological principles underlying the use of engineering strategies and biocompatible materials for tissue repair and regeneration. Structure, physiology, and mechanics of articular cartilage, bone, and dense soft connective tissues. Current ideas, approaches, and applications being implemented as therapeutic regimens for arthritis, spinal deformities, and limb salvage. Multidisciplinary constraints on the design and creation of tissue constructs. Prerequisite: familiarity with basic cell and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue differentiation.

3 units, Win (Smith, R)
