2. 1. Enhancing bone healing through concurrent anabolic- and anti-catabolic pharmacological treatment

   Author : Per Bosemark; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autograft; BMP; bisphosphonate; nonunion; Masquelet;

   Abstract : Most fractures heal uneventfully but some evolve into nonunions. Autologous bone graft is the gold standard for stimulating healing. However, donor site morbidity, and limited graft supply make alternatives interesting. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, BMPs, are growth factors involved in bone signaling. READ MORE

4. 2. Pancreas Transplantation: Development of Successful Preclinical Models

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute rejection; simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant; portal venous drainage; systemic venous drainage; pancreaticoduodenal transplant; segmental pancreas transplant; duct-occlusion; autograft; Pancreas transplantation; allograft; hyperacute rejection; glucose metabolism.; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : Pancreas transplantation is today a technically successful procedure and provides an alternative to insulin injections for the treatment of Type I diabetes mellitus. This thesis was undertaken while pancreas transplantation was developing and while several fundamental questions were being asked about both endocrine and exocrine drainage of the transplanted pancreas as well as how best to diagnose and prevent rejection.

5. 3. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome

   Author : Thorkell Snaebjörnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; ACL; registry; hamstring tendon; anterior cruciate ligament; patellar tendon; graft failure; graft fixation; graft diameter; autograft; revision; outcome;

   Abstract : The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further complications, such as meniscal or cartilage injury in the short term and degeneration of the knee joint in the long term. READ MORE

6. 4. On surgical techniques to reduce morbidity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The significance of harvesting technique, preconditioning, graft choice and the course of bone mineral in the calcaneus

   Author : Lars Ejerhed; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; patellar tendon autograft; semitendinosus tendon autograft; preconditioning; bone mineral areal mass;

   Abstract : The aim of the study was to reduce undesired postoperative effects, such as anterior knee pain, loss of sensitivity in the knee region and problems with knee-walking after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, prospectively to evaluate the bone mineral in the calcanei before and after ACL reconstruction. READ MORE
