    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ankle fracture; Swedish Fracture Register; AO OTA-classification; epidemiology; venous thromboembolic event; low-molecular-weight heparin; sick leave; outcome; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Abstract : The ankle fracture is one of the most common fractures in adult patients and is a heterogeneous group of fractures. From the fully stable fracture on the most distal part of thefibula to severely unstable and even dislocated ankles. Patients with ankle fractures often report a good result after treatment, but a small group have persistent problems. READ MORE

  4. 7. Total Shoulder Arthroplasty : clinical and radiological studies on the implant positioning and fixation

    Author : Bakir Kadum; Göran Sjödén; Lars Adolfsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Total shoulder arthroplasty; reverse shoulder arthroplasty; stemless shoulder arthroplasty; TESS shoulder prosthesis; comprehensive shoulder prosthesis; scapular notching; arm lengthening; Quick DASH; lateral humeral offset; glenohumeral offset; shoulder anatomy; CT shoulder; shoulder anatomy reconstruction.; ortopedi; Orthopaedics;

    Abstract : Shoulder arthroplasty surgery has shown remarkable progress during the last few decades. A number of factors affect postoperative range of motion, pain and prosthetic durability. Among these factors, the length of the lever arm and joint stability is the ones that can be altered by the selected prosthetic component. READ MORE

  5. 8. 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

  6. 9. Lumbar spinal stenosis : Body mass index and the patient's perspective

    Abstract : During recent decades, lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) has become the most common indication for spine surgery, a change that coincides with a higher worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity. Thus, surgical treatment of LSS in the overweight and obese population is common and increasing in scope. READ MORE

  7. 10. Form and Finish of Implants in Uncemented Hip Arthroplasty : Effects of Different Shapes and Surface Treatments on Implant Stability

    Author : Stergios Lazarinis; Nils P. Hailer; Lars Weidenhielm; Uppsala universitet; []
