1. Tibial shaft fractures : An epidemiological and clinical study
Abstract : The epidemiological features of tibial shaft fractures were studied in Uppsala during two 5-year periods. The incidence decreased in men below 20 years of age in the late 1980's compared with the early 1970's (mostly due to a reduction of fractures sustained in traffic accidents), while the incidence increased in women over 80.

2. Distal femur fracture in the elderly patient
Abstract : Studies on the epidemiology of distal femur fractures show a vast increase in low-energy trauma-associated fractures in older ages. Age-related changes in bones lead to loss of bone matrix and increased porosity, which entails an increased risk for fractures and different fracture patterns than in younger individuals. READ MORE

3. Femur shaft fractures in children : an epidemiological and biomechanical study
Abstract : Aims: The purpose of this thesis is to describe trends in the epidemiology and treatment of femur shaft fractures in children, to identify risk factors for femur shaft fractures and to compare the stability of various configurations of intramedullary nails to manage these fractures. Background: There are no prior national epidemiologic studies of femur shaft fractures in children. READ MORE

4. Multiscale Modelling of Proximal Femur Growth : Importance of Geometry and Influence of Load
Abstract : Longitudinal growth of long bone occurs at growth plates by a process called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is affected by both biological and mechanical factors. READ MORE

5. Femoral shaft fractures in children and adolescents; stability, residual deformity and recovery of physical function
Abstract : Femoral shaft fracture is the most common injury requiring hospital admission among children. The limited number of studies makes it challenging to provide accurate prognosis for recovery after femoral shaft fractures in children and adolescents. READ MORE
