2. 16. Morcelised Impacted Cortico-Cancellous Bone Allografts in Revision Surgery for Endoprosthetic Loosening with Osteolysis

   Author : Gösta Ullmark; Johan Kärrholm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Total hip arthroplasty; total knee arthroplasty; graft impaction; revision; histology; biomechanic; cement; positron emission tomography; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : Revision total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) and filling of the bone defects with impacted particulated bone allograft is the concept that has been studied in this thesis. In three in vitro models, biomechanical aspects of morcelised and impacted bone allografts were studied. READ MORE

4. 17. The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty study with special reference to unicompartmental prostheses

   Author : Stefan Lewold; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skeleton; rerevision; revision; survival analysis; follow-up; Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty; prognosis; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Abstract : The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty study has prospectively registered and followed knee arthroplasties done in Sweden since 1976. Demography, epidemiology and general knee prosthetic biofunction is given for 30,003 primary knee arthro-plasties and their revisions through 1992. READ MORE

5. 18. Pain in patients with osteoarthritis treated with total knee arthroplasty

   Author : Henrik Lundblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : pain;

   Abstract : Background: The pathogenesis and mechanisms of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) are virtually unknown. In the absence of specific and effective pharmacological treatment, joint replacement often remains the only option. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a significant effect in terms of pain relief.

6. 19. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty

   Author : Anton Rasch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Osteoarthrosis; arthritis; joint disease; hip muscle strength; hip muscle function; outcome; elderly; attenuation; fatty infiltration; gait analysis; balance;

   Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. READ MORE

7. 20. Fixation and load in total knee arthroplasty : a clinical, radiographic, radiostereometric and gait study

   Author : Maria B Hilding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : total knee arthroplasty; tibial component loosening; radiostereometric analysis RSA ; alignment; gait analysis; joint loading; flexionmoments; Nottingham Health Profile.;

   Abstract : The treatment of severe gonarthrosis by total knee arthroplasty is generally successful, but tibial component loosening remains a problem. The aim in the present work was to investigate if any association between loading and insufficient tibial component fixation could be found, and if the fixation was affected by the tibial component design differences.
