2. 1. Traumatic patellar dislocation in childhood : late effects on knee function and cartilage quality

   Author : Eva Bengtsson Moström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background and aim: Acute patellar dislocation affects approximately 1:1000 healthy children 9- 15 years of age, and up to 50% are at risk for recurrent dislocations. In adults the condition is associated with long-term complications, such as osteoarthritis and impairment of knee function. READ MORE

4. 2. Acromioclavicular joint dislocations. Epidemiology, radiography and outcome

   Author : Jonas Nordin; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AC-led; Akromioklavikularled; Luxation; Epidemiologi; Kirurgi; Röntgen; AC-joint; Acromioclavicular joint; Acromioclavicular dislocation; Separation; Epidemiology; Radiography; Surgery; Outcome;

   Abstract : Background: Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are common and frequently affecting young adults injured during sports. The Rockwood classification system is used to grade the dislocations according to the extent of injury to the soft tissues stabilizing the joint. READ MORE

5. 3. Traumatic patellar dislocation in children : epidemiology, risk factors, the MPFL and treatment outcome

   Author : Marie Askenberger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The knee joint is one of the most common injury sites in children, with the spectrum of injuries differing from those in adults. Traumatic lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is the most common serious injury; the incidence is approximately 1/1000 in children 9-15 years of age. The risk for recurrent dislocation is high in this age group. READ MORE

6. 4. Articular distension in arthroscopy : an experimental study on intra- and extra-articular effects of pressure

   Author : Anders Sperber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Arthroscopy; intra-articular pressure; in vivo measurements; knee joint capsule; tensile properties; stress-strain; multicompartmental pressures; lower leg venous blood flow; ultrasound; acromioplasty; intra-muscular pressure; fluid absorption; shoul;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to analyse the effects of various intra-articular pressures (IAP) on soft tissues and to provide guidelines for the choice of safe infusion pressures during arthroscopy. The tensile properties of the knee-joint capsule were recorded from stress-strain-relaxation tests within 170 mmHg IAP. READ MORE

7. 5. Orthopaedic Patients with Lower Limb Vascular Injuries

   Author : Karin Bernhoff; Martin Björck; Sari Ponzer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Vascular injuries in lower limbs are rare but serious events. If not detected and managed correctly and timely they can lead to permanent functional impairment and even limb loss. The increasing number of orthopaedic interventions, worldwide, makes awareness of this problem among orthopaedic surgeons important. READ MORE
