  1. 6. Femoral neck fractures. Aspects on treatment and outcome

    Författare :Cecilia Rogmark; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; outcome; treatment protocol; randomized controlled study; primary arthroplasty; internal fixation; femoral neck fractures; Hip fracture; incidence; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hip fractures are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, with a high risk of functional impairment and institutionalization. The incidence and number of hip fractures have increased during the recent decades and hip fractures consume considerable health-care resources. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Femoral shaft fractures in children and adolescents; stability, residual deformity and recovery of physical function

    Författare :Marianne Flinck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Femoral fractures; Child; Treatment outcome; Leg length discrepancy; Elastic intramedullary nails; Biomechanics; Fracture fixation; Three-dimensional gait analysis; Function recovery;

    Sammanfattning : Femoral shaft fracture is the most common injury requiring hospital admission among children. The limited number of studies makes it challenging to provide accurate prognosis for recovery after femoral shaft fractures in children and adolescents. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Coffee Consumption in Relation to Osteoporosis and Fractures : Observational Studies in Men and Women

    Författare :Helena Hallström; Karl Michaëlsson; Alicja Wolk; Anders Glynn; Olle Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Coffee; Tea; Caffeine; Bone mineral density; Osteoporosis; Fractures; Cohort studies;

    Sammanfattning : During the past decades, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures has increased dramatically in the Western world. Consumption of coffee and intake of caffeine have in some studies been found to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, but overall results from previous research are inconsistent.

    Nyckelord :Femoral neck fractures; Aged; Quality of life; Treatment outcome; Fracture fixation; internal; Arthroplasty; replacement; hip; Nutritional disorder; Anabolic steroids.;

    Sammanfattning : The worldwide increase of hip fractures is a major challenge for the health care system and society. The treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly is still controversial, and even more so from an international perspective. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Arthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fractures

    Författare :Carl Johan Hedbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to analyze hip function and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with a displaced fracture of the femoral neck treated with a cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) or a hemiarthroplasty (HA), unipolar or bipolar. Moreover, the purpose was to analyze factors influencing the stability of the THA with special reference to the surgical approach and to evaluate the responsiveness of the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA), i.
