21. Humeral fractures - Epidemiology, treatment and reoperations in the Swedish Fracture Register
Abstract : Fractures are common, but the knowledge on outcomes, treatment methods or the actual number of fractures treated each year has been sparse. With the introduction of the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) in 2011, the prospective registration and analysis of detailed population-based fracture data was made possible for the first time.

22. Hip fractures : A biomechanical analysis of fracture strength prediction, prevention, and repair
Abstract : Due to the aging population, hip fracture incidence has been increasing over the past decades. Measurements of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry are the gold standard for hip fracture risk assessment, where patients with a low bone density have a high risk of fracture.

23. Mechanical Behaviour of Single-Layer Adhesive Joints : an integrated approach
Abstract : Innovative products that are competitive on the market are likely to employ newtypes of materials and unusual geometries. A method that can assemble dissimilarmaterials and irregular geometries cost-effectively and at the same time offera joint that is light in weight and imperceptible, is optimal. READ MORE

24. Numerical methods and multi-scale modeling for phase-field fracture - With applications in linear elastic and poro-elastic media
Abstract : This thesis presents novel numerical methods and a multi-scale modelling framework tailored for advancing the phase-field fracture model with applications in linear elastic and poro-elastic media. In the realm of the numerical methods, the focus lies on devising computationally efficient and robust monolithic solution techniques. READ MORE

25. Bone density, bone geometry and bone development in young men - the importance of pubertal timing and fracture history
Abstract : Background and objective: Peak bone mass, the maximal bone mass attained in young adulthood, is an important factor of the lifetime risk of developing osteoporosis. The aim of this thesis was to study the development of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone geometry around the time of peak bone mass in men, and also to investigate the association between pubertal timing, fracture history, bone turnover markers and BMD and bone geometry in young men.
