  1. 1. Chronic Achilles tendon rupture - surgical reconstruction and post-operative outcomes

    Författare :Niklas Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic Achilles tendon rupture; Semitendinosus graft; Tissue sample; Achilles tendon re-rupture; Surgical repair; Gastrocnemius aponeurosis free flap; Health economics; Patient-reported outcome measurements;

    Sammanfattning : When the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the rupture is classified as chronic. This thesis aims to examine the postoperative outcome of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated surgically in terms of long-term functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements, biomolecular changes, and economic cost.

  3. 2. Chronic Achilles Tendon Rupture - Perspectives on outcomes after surgical treatment and rehabilitation

    Författare :Anna Nordenholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic achilles tendon rupture; outcome; heel-rise; tendon length; gait biomechanics; patient experiences; cost analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic Achilles tendon rupture (CATR) is a rupture of the Achilles tendon for which adequate diagnosis and treatment has been delayed after index injury. In this thesis defined as 4 weeks or more. The delay is commonly due to a misdiagnosis by the assessing healthcare professional or because of patient delay. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On the nature and etiology of chronic achilles tendinopathy

    Författare :Mats Åström; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gender; physical activity; aging; imaging; malalignment; blood supply; partial rupture; tendinosis; chronic tendinopathy; Achilles tendon; achillodynia; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : The present studies included 362 consecutive patients and 147 healthy controls and were conducted to provide a rational basis for treatment and future research. The major lesion was a focal non-inflammatory tendon degeneration (tendinosis). Twenty per cent of the cases were complicated by a secondary partial rupture. The paratenon was normal. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Computational modeling of mechanobiology in intact and healing rat Achilles tendon

    Författare :Thomas Notermans; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Collagen; Finite element model; Mechano-regulation; Mechanical Properties; Strain; Oxygen; Viscoelasticity;

    Sammanfattning : Tendons fulfill an important musculoskeletal function by enabling energy-efficient force transmission between muscles and bones. The tendon is a collagen-rich connective tissue that adapts to mechanical loading through mechanobiological processes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Neuronal mechanisms in tendon healing : effects of mobilization and immobilization

    Författare :Daniel K-I Bring; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The incidence of tendon injuries is increasing. Tendon healing and modelling are frequently protracted, often leading to pain and impaired function so called overuse syndromes. Presumably, the sensory nervous system may contribute both to promotion of repair as well as to inhibition of healing and tissue modeling. LÄS MER
