Objective Objectives/Desired Results: The course is the basic introduction to the physiology and mechanics of the musculoskeletal system. The course material aims to understand the basic principles of mechanics and biology of the tissues of the musculoskeletal system and is a basic introduction for students to the courses of Orthopedic Traumatology and Orthopedic Pathology.
Also, it refers to basic issues of manufacturing and use of Orthopedic implants. In this sense, the course is the basis on which the student will rely for a complete understanding of important topics of the Orthopedic Specialty. Finally, the aim of the course is for the students to understand the importance of communication between Medical and Biomechanical science that work together for the derivative and effective use of Orthopedic implants.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Has an understanding of the functional principles, physical and mechanical, that govern the functioning of the musculoskeletal system.
• Has knowledge and understanding of the functional pathology of the musculoskeletal system, the healing mechanism of the tissues of the musculoskeletal system and the mechanism of fracture healing.
• Is able to distinguish the utility of Orthopedic materials and implants.
• Uses materials related to the Orthopedic specialty.
• Analyzes information from the Orthopedic literature regarding implants.
• He can collaborate with his fellow students to prepare studies related to the subject of Biomechanics.
