1. Heterotopic Ossification : Clinical and Experimental Studies on Risk Factors, Etiology and Inhibition by Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, occurrence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) was studied. Preventive effects and complications with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were analyzed. Experimental investigations on bone formation were employed to gain insight to the mechanism of NSAIDs action on bone.(I). LÄS MER
2. Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures : A prospective randomized study of clinical outcome, nutrition and costs
Sammanfattning : Displaced femoral neck fractures comprise more than a third of all hip fractures. There is controversy as to the optimal treatment. Despite attempts to improve the methods for internal fixation, complication rates have been almost unchanged: 20-40% non-union and late segmental collapse in another 10-20%. LÄS MER
3. External Fixation of Femoral Fractures in Children : Clinical, radiological and functional outcome and cost analysis
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the outcome when treating children for displaced femoral fractures with external fixation.In a consecutive and prospective study during the period 1993-2000, 96 children aged 3-15 years with 98 displaced femoral fractures were treated with external fixation and early mobilisation. The mean age was 8. LÄS MER
4. Improvements in hip arthroplasty - did they work? Evaluations of different articulations and fixation concepts
Sammanfattning : Today, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the safest and most efficient surgical treatments. New materials, surgical techniques and design concepts intended to improve THA have not always been successful. LÄS MER
5. Studies on Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement
Sammanfattning : Artificial disc replacement (ADR) was developed as an alternative to anterior fusion after decompression for cervical degenerative radiculopathy. By preserving motion, it was expected to prevent acceleration of adjacent segment pathology (ASP) associated with fusion, and lead to better clinical outcomes. LÄS MER
