1. On Fixation of Hip Prostheses
Sammanfattning : This thesis, comprising 5 separate studies, is concerned with fixation of prosthetic components in total hip arthroplasty. The results and conclusions of the studies fol-low;The initial stability of femoral revision components, the long cementless PCA stem and the Exeter standard stem cemented in a bed of impacted bone graft, was com-pared in an experimental study.

2. Computed Tomography of Acetabular Cup Wear and Effect of Surface Roughness on Wear and Oxidation of UHMWPE Hip Prostheses
Sammanfattning : Aseptic loosening is the most common complication in total hip replacement (5- 10% at 10 years follow up). The magnitude of the problem is illustrated by the fact that about one million hip prostheses are implanted worldwide each year. LÄS MER
3. Assessment of acetabular cup wear with computed tomography and influence of surface roughness on wear of materials for hip prostheses
Sammanfattning : Over one million hip prostheses are implanted in patients worldwide each year and the need is increasing as the patient group of younger and more active patients is increasing. Many parameters affect the longevity of the implant, where aseptic loosening caused by wear debris is the most common reason for revision. LÄS MER
4. In vitro evaluation of hip prostheses
Sammanfattning : Aseptic loosening and periprosthetic osteolysis are the most common complications (5-10% in 10 years follow up) after total hip arthroplasty. Polyethylene debris appears to play a major role in this process. LÄS MER
5. Wear characteristics of materials for artificial hip joints
Sammanfattning : Total hip prostheses have succeeded in significantly improving the quality of life of millions of patients worldwide. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been widely and successfully used as a bearing material in orthopaedic prostheses since the 1960s. LÄS MER
