1. Elbow kinematics : studies of the elbow joint under normal conditions and after joint replacement
Sammanfattning : Background: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is used for treatment of patients with severe pain and disability due to reumatoid arthritis. Long term results are not as good as for hip and knee replacements. LÄS MER
2. Aspects of locomotor evolution in the Carnivora (Mammalia)
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the shape of the distal humerus trochlea is analysed using landmark-based morphometrics and multivariate methods, with the aim of exploring locomotor evolution in carnivorans. Elbow joint morphology is used together with body size and craniodental morphology to characterize past and present carnivorans. LÄS MER
3. Breeding for improved hip and elbow health in Swedish dogs
Sammanfattning : Decades of selective breeding to reduce the prevalence of hip and elbow dysplasia(HD and ED) in Swedish dogs, based on phenotypic assessment of radiographic hip status, has had limited success. The prevalence of dysplastic dogs is still high in many large-sized and giant breeds and among the most common causes for euthanasia and costly veterinary care in numerous breeds are joint-related problems.

4. Destructive reumatoid arthritis : Epidemiological, economic, and rheumasurgical aspects
Sammanfattning : This study comprising 8 separate papers is concerned with the prevalence of rheumatic disease and different aspects of destructive rheumatoid arthritis in the population. In an epidemiologically representative population subjective joint disease was found in 30% in ages 45 years and over. LÄS MER
5. Proximal and distal humeral fractures. Outcome of primary arthroplasty
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with both proximal humeral fractures and elbow injuries, especially distal humeral fractures. The main focus is difficult fractures in the elderly. Few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available. If the joint surface is considerably affected (e. LÄS MER
