1. 21. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; ACL; registry; hamstring tendon; anterior cruciate ligament; patellar tendon; graft failure; graft fixation; graft diameter; autograft; revision; outcome;

   Sammanfattning : The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further complications, such as meniscal or cartilage injury in the short term and degeneration of the knee joint in the long term. LÄS MER

3. 22. Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - current evidence, predictors and outcome

   Författare :Eleonor Svantesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; ACL; reconstruction; revision; medial collateral ligament; MCL; knee;

   Sammanfattning : Despite extensive research in the field of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, primary ACL reconstruction failure and a high re-rupture rate remain a problem. Far too many patients experience a second devastating hit – the need to undergo a revision ACL reconstruction. LÄS MER

4. 23. Early knee osteoarthrosis after meniscectomy : studies in rabbits

   Författare :Anna Fahlgren; Stefan Lohmander; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Post-traumatic osteoarthrosis develops after intraarticular injuries. It is a disease, which affects both articular cartilage and subchondral bone, and progresses over 10-20 years. Irreversible damage has often occurred by the time clinical diagnosis is possible. LÄS MER

5. 24. Treatment and outcome of anterior cruciate ligament injury: Truth or Consequences

   Författare :Richard Frobell; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; magnetic resonance imaging; Knee injuries; treatment; anterior cruciate ligament; outcome;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the work presented in this thesis was to evaluate the incidence, outcome and consequences within the 1st year of acute ACL injury of the knee. The KANON-study, a randomized controlled clinical trial comparing surgical and non-surgical treatment after acute ACL injury, was initiated and some results are included in this thesis. LÄS MER

7. 25. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in children

   Författare :Per-Mats Janarv; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Anterior cruciate ligament; Anterior tibial spine fracture; Child; Growth plate; Knee function; Rabbit; Treatment;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis discusses the two most common injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in children: The rupture in the substance of the ACL and the anterior tibial spine (ATS) fracture. The latter is an avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the ACL. The injuries and their treatment are studied in two clinical papers. LÄS MER
