  2. 1. Total wrist arthroplasty : A clinical, radiographic and biomechanical investigation

    Author : Marcus Sagerfors; Kurt Pettersson; Anil Gupta; Christer Sollerman; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist; Arthroplasty; Rheumatoid; Biomechanics; Functional outcome; Implant survival; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Aim: To study patient-related functional outcome measures, implant survival and radiographic loosening after total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) using four different implants. To evaluate a new TWA design biomechanically and clinically. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical and arthroscopic assessment of wrist ligament injuries and instability

    Author : Jonny K Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wrist; wrist arthroscopy; carpal ligaments; scapholunate ligament; lunotriquetral ligament; triangular fibrocartilage complex; distal radio-ulnar joint; instability; magnetic resonance imaging; forearm rotation torque; children; adolescents;

    Abstract : Wrist ligament injuries are common after trauma, especially when concomitant dislocated radius fractures are present. The diagnostics of scapholunate (SL), lunotriquetral (LT) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are challenging and most often dependent on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination or invasive arthroscopy.

  5. 3. Hemi and total wrist arthroplasty

    Author : Per Fischer; Kurt Pettersson; Marcus Sagerfors; Jan Fridén; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; Wrist; Arthroplasty; Implant survival; Biomechanics;

    Abstract : Aim: To study implant survival and implant loosening following primary total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) using four different implants. To report outcome following wrist revision arthroplasty. To evaluate a new radial wrist hemi arthroplasty (RWHA) design clinically and biomechanically. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wrist and thumb joint postures and motions: Measurements using electrogoniometry and EMG

    Author : Per Jonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist joint; Finger joint; Electromyography; Accuracy; Electrogoniometry; Input device; Information and communication technology; Mobile phone; Muscle activity; Posture; Thumb; Wrist;

    Abstract : Correct measurements of the joints’ extreme postures, velocity and repetitiveness are important for studies of the origin of musculoskeletal disorders. Posture measurements of wrist and thumb joints may also provide insights into input device designs that may reduce effort and/or facilitate productivity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Wrist osteoarthritis - Impact on daily life, self-management and outcome

    Author : Sara Larsson; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist osteoarthritis; Impact on daily life; Total wrist fusion; Total wrist arthroplasty; Patient-reported outcome measure; self-management; Exercise therapy; Neuromuscular control;

    Abstract : For individuals with symptomatic wrist osteoarthritis (OA), pain is the central problem negatively affecting all aspects of life. Despite the recommendations that all OA patients should be offered self-management treatment options, this approach is often lacking for patients with wrist OA. READ MORE
