2. 1. Studies on patients with a proximal humerus fracture. With special reference to mortality, fragility, morbidity and outcome

   Author : Christian Olsson; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; outcome; fragility; morbidity; proximal humerus fracture; mortality; Medicin människa och djur ;

   Abstract : Fractures of the proximal part of the humerus occur frequently, especially in elderly women. The present thesis summarizes a series of studies analysing the impact on fracture outcome of factors related both to the fracture itself and to the patient. READ MORE

4. 2. Proximal humeral fractures : outcome of treatment with shoulder arthroplasty

   Author : Yilmaz Demir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly and especially in women. The preferred treatment approach is usually nonsurgical, with surgery reserved for cases that meet specific fracture patterns and patient-specific criteria. READ MORE

5. 3. Treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients

   Author : Per Olerud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The optimal treatment for patients with displaced fractures of the proximal humerus, especially elderly patients with osteoporosis, is still controversial. For the 2- and 3-part fractures according to the Neer classification, there is a trend towards more frequent surgical interventions with modern locking plates. READ MORE

6. 4. Proximal humeral fractures : aspects of treatment with special reference to displaced fractures in the elderly

   Author : Karol Zyto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : proximal humeralfractures; aged patients; Neer classification; Constant score; long-term follow up; hemiarthroplasty; prospective study; osteopenia; middle- age men.;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the clinical and functional outcome after various treatments of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus in an elderly patient group. Conservative treatment consisting of a short period of immobilisation and an early start of active exercises guided by physiotherapy has been compared with different surgical techniques. READ MORE

7. 5. Aspects of bone quality and risk assessments in fracture and elective orthopaedic patients

   Author : Camilla Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fracture; Fracture incidence; Epidemiology; Mortality; Osteoporosis; Frailty; Spinal stenosis; Bone quality; Bone mineral density;

   Abstract : Background: Bone quality, bone strength, and bone remodelling are important in many orthopaedic conditions and can have an impact on fracture incidence, bone healing, implant failure, and different outcome aspects. There is relatively sparse information on fracture incidence and mortality both for all fractures compiled and for some of the individual fracture locations. READ MORE
