  2. 1. Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty : Effects of Immediate Weight Bearing on Implant Stability, Bone Mineral Density, and Body Composition

    Author : Olof Wolf; Hans Mallmin; Sune Larsson; Jan Milbrink; Per Mattsson; Per Adolphson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis of the hip; uncemented; total hip arthroplasty; stability; RSA; BMD; DXA; body composition; weight bearing; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : The initial recommendation for the postoperative regime after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) was 6-12 weeks of partial weight bearing (PWB) to obtain a stable implant position during bone ingrowth. In recent years patients with uncemented THA have increasingly practiced full weight bearing (FWB) after surgery, which has largely been based on clinical experience rather than on scientific evidence.

  4. 2. Clavicle Fractures : Epidemiology, classification, treatment and outcome, with emphasis on displaced lateral clavicle fractures

    Author : Caroline Kihlström; Olof Wolf; Hanna Björnsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clavicle fractures; Displaced lateral clavicle fractures; Epidemiology; Classification; Treatment; Outcome; The Swedish Fracture Register; Validation; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : The rate of surgical treatment for clavicle fractures has increased dramatically in the past 20 years, but the necessity for this remains obscure, particularly for displaced lateral clavicle fractures. The overall aim of the thesis is to acquire knowledge that may help guide treatment decisions for clavicle fractures, with an emphasis on displaced lateral fractures. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spring Phenology of Butterflies : The role of seasonal variation in life-cycle regulation

    Author : Sandra Stålhandske; Olof Leimar; Karl Gotthard; Wolf Blanckenhorn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenology; Life cycle regulation; Phenotypic plasticity; Local adaptation; Butterflies; Diapause; Pupal development; Anthocharis cardamines; Herbivore – host plant interaction; etologi; Ethology;

    Abstract : Animals and plants in temperate regions must adapt their life cycle to pronounced seasonal variation. The research effort that has gone into studying these cyclical life history events, or phenological traits, has increased greatly in recent decades. READ MORE
