    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Clavicular fractures; Clavicle epidemiology; Clavicle malunion; Clavicle nonunion; external fixation; prospective; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : During a three-year period (1989-91), all patients living in the county of Uppsala, Sweden, with a radiographically verified fracture of the clavicle were prospectively, consecutively followed (n=245). The epidemiological study (I) was restricted to the two first years with 187 fractures in185 patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  6. 4. The scaphoid : from fracture to fusion

    Author : Thorsten Schriever; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In paper I, the incidence, treatment approaches, and rates of nonunion in scaphoid fractures were examined using data from 34,377 patients recorded in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) between 2006-2015. The accuracy of NPR data was confirmed through validation involving 300 patients, revealing that approximately 41% of diagnosed scaphoid fractures were false positives. READ MORE

  7. 5. Clavicle Fractures : Epidemiology, classification, treatment and outcome, with emphasis on displaced lateral clavicle fractures

    Author : Caroline Kihlström; Olof Wolf; Hanna Björnsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clavicle fractures; Displaced lateral clavicle fractures; Epidemiology; Classification; Treatment; Outcome; The Swedish Fracture Register; Validation; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : The rate of surgical treatment for clavicle fractures has increased dramatically in the past 20 years, but the necessity for this remains obscure, particularly for displaced lateral clavicle fractures. The overall aim of the thesis is to acquire knowledge that may help guide treatment decisions for clavicle fractures, with an emphasis on displaced lateral fractures. READ MORE
