2. 1. 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

4. 2. Total knee arthroplasty : Alternative aspects on fixation, design and postoperative treatment

   Author : Gunnar Adalberth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Total knee arthroplasty; RSA; migration; all-polyethylene; drainage; cement; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   Abstract : Total knee arthroplasty as a treatment of severe gonarthrosis has become a great success, but tibial component loosening is still a major reason for failure. When total knee arthroplasty was introduced, only all-polyethylene (AP) tibial components were available. READ MORE

5. 3. Kinematics and fixation of total knee arthroplasties : a clinical, radiographic, scintimetric, and roentgen stereophotogrammetric evaluation

   Author : Kjell G. Nilsson; Johan Kärrholm; Leif Ryd; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Total knee arthroplasty; tibial component; kinematics; micromotion; loosening; scintimetry; roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis;

   Abstract : Aseptic loosening of the tibial component is an important cause of failure after total knee arthroplasty. Bone destruction often claimed to be caused by the cement makes the revision difficult. In order to treat younger patients, uncemented fixation has been introduced, but the etiology to loosening is multifactorial and only partly known. READ MORE

6. 4. Heterotopic Ossification : Clinical and Experimental Studies on Risk Factors, Etiology and Inhibition by Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs

   Author : Per-Erik Persson; Olle Nilsson; Per Aspenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Heterotopic ossification; Hip prosthesis; NSAIDs; Prophylaxis; Prosthesis loosening; Reoperation; Animal model; Bone formation; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : In this thesis, occurrence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) was studied. Preventive effects and complications with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were analyzed. Experimental investigations on bone formation were employed to gain insight to the mechanism of NSAIDs action on bone.(I). READ MORE

7. 5. Late complications after total hip arthroplasty

   Author : Erik B Mathiesen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The present study concerns late complications after total hip arthroplasty in relation to implant material, design, and mode of implant fixation. Frictional characteristics in retrieved and new acetabular sockets was studied under dry and lubricated conditions comparing conventional polyethylene sockets with polyacetal sockets from the Christiansen prosthesis.
