1. On the treatment of tibial shaft fractures
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate those factors, which have predictive value for development of complications after tibial shaft fractures, and to evaluate the outcome of the available treatment methods for closed, as well as open tibial shaft fractures associated with extensive soft-tissue injury. To determine the factors, which influence healing speed, we reviewed 100 consecutive patients with 104 tibial shaft fractures tibial shaft fractures. READ MORE

2. Tibial shaft fractures : An epidemiological and clinical study
Abstract : The epidemiological features of tibial shaft fractures were studied in Uppsala during two 5-year periods. The incidence decreased in men below 20 years of age in the late 1980's compared with the early 1970's (mostly due to a reduction of fractures sustained in traffic accidents), while the incidence increased in women over 80.

3. Humeral shaft fractures : epidemiology outcome
Abstract : Humeral shaft fractures account for 1-3% of all fractures and approximately 20% of all humeral fractures. Non-operative treatment with functional bracing has been regarded as the golden standard for treatment of closed humeral shaft fractures with studies reporting a high overall healing rate and an acceptable functional outcome.

5. Polygonal columns in Greek architecture
Abstract : This thesis studies the use of polygonal columns in Greek architecture from the Geometric to the Hellenistic period. The main purpose of the research is to study the development, distribution, design, function and use of polygonal columns in order to create a new understanding on how they fit in the development of Greek architecture.
