   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee Osteoarthritis; Total Knee Arthroplasty; Revision; Obesity; Bariatric Surgery;

   Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disorder of the joint, affecting over 500million people globally, and is one of the most demanding disabilities worldwide.One of the most prominent risk factors for developing OA is obesity. Clinically, the most common site of OA is the knee. READ MORE

4. 17. Knee joint kinematics, fixation and function related to joint area design in total knee arthroplasty

   Author : Johan Uvehammer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Total knee arthroplasty; polyethylene insert; kinematics; migration; clinical outcome; inducible displacement of the tibial component; radiostereometry.;

   Abstract : The aim was to study the influence of different designs of the joint area on tibial component fixation, kinematics and clinical outcome after a cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The HSS score and a special questionnaire were used at the clinical examination. READ MORE

5. 18. Sagittal plane knee translation in healthy and ACL deficient subjects : a methodological study in vivo with clinical implications

   Author : Anil Vergis; Jon Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : anterior cruciate ligament; electrogoniometer system; gait; knee; kinematics; motion analysis; step ascent; step descent; translation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : This study on human subjects, comprises of four cross sectional and one prospective cohort study. The general purpose of this work was to develop a technique for measuring in vivo, sagittal anterior-posterior translatory motions in the knee joint using a computerized electrogoniometer (CA-4000, OS Inc., Hayward CA, USA).

6. 19. Orthopaedic measurements with computed radiography. Methodological development, accuracy, and radiation dose with special reference to the weight-bearing lower extremity and the dislocating patella

   Author : Jan Sanfridsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; digital.; computer-assisted; Picture Archiving and Communication Systems; computed radiography; radiography; effective dose; radiation dosage; measurements; biomechanics; dislocating patella; musculoskeletal; patellofemoral joint; Knee joint; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a measurement system for computed radiography (CR) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), permitting measurements of long distances and angles in and between related images. The developed measurement system, which was based on the QUESTOR Precision Radiography (QPR) system, was applied to the weight-bearing knee with special reference to the dislocating patella.

7. 20. Knee and ankle kinesiology and joint instability

   Author : Håkan Gauffin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : This study, comprising 7 separate papers, is concerned with the additional information supplied by a kinesiological approach for evaluation of patients with instability due to old ligamenta us injury to the knee or ankle joint. This approach required development of new methods for kinesiological analysis. READ MORE
