11. Proximal and distal humeral fractures. Outcome of primary arthroplasty
Abstract : This thesis deals with both proximal humeral fractures and elbow injuries, especially distal humeral fractures. The main focus is difficult fractures in the elderly. Few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available. If the joint surface is considerably affected (e. READ MORE

12. The Anabolic - Anti-catabolic Paradigm of Augmenting Skeletal Regeneration: A Bone Quality Perspective
Abstract : Successful fracture repair is a complex series of coordinated processes leading to regeneration of new bone to bridge the fracture site, remodelling of the newly formed bone and restoration of skeletal function. Disruption of these processes occurs in approximately 10% of all fractures and leads to delayed or failed healing requiring surgical interventions, increased complication rates, prolonged rehabilitation and high morbidity.

13. Healing Processes in Cancellous Bone
Abstract : Most of what is known about the biological response during fracture healing comes from numerous animal studies with shaft fractures in the long bone. However, most patients suffer from fractures closer to the ends of the long bones, in the hip, or in the vertebrae. READ MORE

14. Fractures of the distal radius : Factors related to radiographic evaluation, conservative treatment and fracture healing
Abstract : Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are one of the most common injuries encountered in orthopaedic practise. Such fractures are most often treated conservatively, but surgical treatment has become increasingly common. READ MORE

15. Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors and knee prosthesis surgery
Abstract : Adverse effects of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors on bone healing have previously been demonstrated in diaphyseal fracture models in animals. In spite of that, they are widely used as postoperative analgesics in orthopaedic surgery. After joint replacement, a bone repair process starts at the interface between bone and cement. READ MORE
