  2. 1. Distal Radius Fractures : aspects on radiological and clinical outcome and evaluation of a new classification system

    Author : Mats Wadsten; Göran Sjödén; Magnus Tägil; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Distal radius fracture; Buttazzoni classification; volar; comminution; reliability; radiological outcome; clinical outcome; late displacement; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Abstract : Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common fracture encountered in clinical practice. Every year, more than 20000 people in Sweden suffer from this injury. It has been shown that there is a correlation between malalignment and function following distal radial fractures and malunion may cause persistent pain and disability. READ MORE

    Abstract : The function of the hand is of substantial importance, and injuries have an impact on daily life. Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common fracture among adults. The annual incidence is 26 per 10,000 inhabitants, and the incidence is increasing because of an aging population. READ MORE

  5. 3. Wrist fractures : aspects of surgical methods and outcome

    Author : Cecilia Mellstrand Navarro; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wrist fractures are the most frequently occurring fractures in any emergency setting. Treatment regimens range from a plaster cast to a combination of advanced surgical methods. Many fractures heal without remaining morbidity but 15 – 30% of patients report remaining disability of the hand and wrist. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fractures of the distal radius : epidemiology, treatment and outcome assessment

    Author : Maria Wilcke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to increase scientific knowledge of the most common fracture, namely the distal radius. Our understanding of this fracture is still limited, but every year in Sweden over 20,000 patients suffer from this injury. The fracture may cause persistent pain and disability for the patients, not to mention substantial costs to society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Treatment of distal radius fractures : clinical outcome, regional variation and health economics

    Author : Jenny Saving; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A distal radius fracture (DRF) remains the most common fracture encountered in health care. DRFs have traditionally been treated with a plaster or surgically with percutaneous methods. READ MORE
