1. 1. Who should have total hip replacement? Use of patient-reported outcome measures in identifying the indications for and assessment of total hip replacement

   Författare :Meridith E Greene; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Patient-reported outcome measures; Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register; Harris Joint Registry; total hip replacement; health-related quality of life; EQ-5D; surgical recommendations;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is a successful treatment for end-stage hip osteoarthritis (OA). Patients commonly seek this treatment to improve physical function, diminish pain, and ultimately to increase health-related quality of life (HRQoL). LÄS MER

3. 2. Friction and Wear Mechanisms of Ceramic Surfaces : With Applications to Micro Motors and Hip Joint Replacements

   Författare :Johanna Olofsson; Staffan Jacobson; Håkan Engqvist; Koshi Adachi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tribology; Friction; Wear; Ceramic; Tribofilm; Alumina; Silicon nitride; Ultrasonic Motors; Hip Joint Replacement; PVD coating; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

   Sammanfattning : Surfaces exposed to wear always transform and typically a layer of new structure and composition is formed. This layer, often called tribofilm, changes the friction and wear properties. LÄS MER

4. 3. Clinical and experimental studies on wear and osteolysis in total joint replacement

   Författare :Thord von Schewelov; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; reumatologi; muskelsystem; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; muscle system; NTx; Skeleton; radiostereometry; osteolysis; wear; Hip; arthroplasty; metabolism; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : Total hip arthroplasty is a very successful procedure. Despite this fact, however, a certain portion of patients has to be revised. One major reason for revision is the wear of the polyethylene leading to loosening and osteolysis. LÄS MER

5. 4. Hip Revision Surgery : Identification of Genetic Markers and Evaluation of Novel Treatment Strategies

   Författare :Anders Brüggemann; Nils Hailer; Hans Mallmin; Karl Michaëlsson; Olle Nilsson; Per Wretenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is, despite its overall good outcome, for some patients followed by hip revision surgery. This seems in parts to be because of genetic susceptibility to revision surgery. The most common reason for revision surgery is aseptic loosening followed by periprosthetic joint infection and dislocation. LÄS MER

7. 5. Prevalence and Inheritance of Hip Osteoarthritis in Iceland

   Författare :Thorvaldur Ingvarsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; gene; inheritance; age standardiation; prevalence; THR; Hip; OA; traumatologi; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatology; orthopaedics;

   Sammanfattning : Hereditary factors are suggested to contribute to osteoarthritis (OA), but their relative importance is uncertain. Moreover, the underlying specific variations at the genome level remain unknown. The prevalence of hip OA in Iceland was assessed by examining colon radiographs and was found to be at least 5-fold higher compared to Sweden and Denmark. LÄS MER
