2. 1. Alternative techniques in trochanteric hip fracture surgery. Clinical and biomechanical studies on the Medoff sliding plate and the Twin hook

   Author : Ola Olsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ortopedi; Kirurgi; traumatology; hip fracture; trochanteric; internal fixation; radiography; randomised trial; complication; biomechanics; orthopaedics; Surgery; traumatologi;

   Abstract : In allowing compression along the femoral shaft (uniaxial dynamization) and optional compression along the femoral neck (biaxial dynamization), the Medoff sliding plate (MSP) represents a new principle in the fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The Twin hook with 2 apical hooks was designed as an alternative to the lag screw. READ MORE

4. 2. Dynamic fixation of unstable trochanteric hip fractures. A clinical and radiographic evaluation of the Medoff sliding plate

   Author : Karl Lunsjö; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; Radiography.; Implants; Hip fractures; Trochanteric; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : In stabilising extracapsular hip fractures, the Medoff sliding plate (MSP) differs from other screw-plates by its compression capacity along the femoral shaft (uniaxial dynamization). Additional compression along the neck of femur can be achieved by primary release of the lag screw (biaxial dynamization). READ MORE

5. 3. Legg-Calvé-Perthes´ disease. Synovitis, cartilage, remodeling

   Author : Göran Eckerwall; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stromelysin; Sonography; Remodeling; Proteoglycan; Pressure; Osteotomy; MRI; MR imaging; Metaphysis; Legg-Calvé-Perthes; Histology; Hip; Arthrography; Child; Synovitis; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : This thesis evaluates and correlates the findings in a series of children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes´ Disease at the Departments of Orthopedics, University Hospitals in Lund, Sweden and Odense, Denmark during 1984-1993. It focuses on the importance of synovitis and its effect on the cartilage, on the shape of the femoral head in the early phases of LCPD and on femoral head remodeling after proximal femoral varus derotation osteotomy.

6. 4. Studies on the complications and prediction of mortality after hip fracture surgery

   Author : Carl Mellner; Sebastian Mukka; Per Morberg; Olof Sköldenberg; Björn Knutsson; Lasse Lapidus; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fracture; femoral neck fracture; treatment; total hip arthroplasty; hemiarthroplasty; internal fixation; outcome; infection; periprosthetic joint infection; mortality;

   Abstract : An elderly patient who sustains a hip fracture has increased morbidity and mortality. Scandinavia presents the highest incidence annually of hip fractures worldwide. Femoral neck fracture (FNF) of the hip accounts for 50% of all hip fractures in geriatric patients. READ MORE

7. 5. Hip Fractures - Functional assessments and factors influencing in-hospital outcome of patients with hip fracture, a physiotherapeutic perspective

   Author : Morten Tange Kristensen; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : A hip fracture is probably one of the most fatal fractures for the elderly and estimated worldwide to reach 5 million cases annually by the year 2050. Thus, continuing efforts in preventing fractures, with more research and improved treatment strategies for those who do fracture, seem crucial. READ MORE
