1. Tibial shaft fractures : An epidemiological and clinical study
Sammanfattning : The epidemiological features of tibial shaft fractures were studied in Uppsala during two 5-year periods. The incidence decreased in men below 20 years of age in the late 1980's compared with the early 1970's (mostly due to a reduction of fractures sustained in traffic accidents), while the incidence increased in women over 80.

2. On the treatment of tibial shaft fractures
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate those factors, which have predictive value for development of complications after tibial shaft fractures, and to evaluate the outcome of the available treatment methods for closed, as well as open tibial shaft fractures associated with extensive soft-tissue injury. To determine the factors, which influence healing speed, we reviewed 100 consecutive patients with 104 tibial shaft fractures tibial shaft fractures. LÄS MER
3. Studies of tibial fractures using the Swedish Fracture Register
Sammanfattning : This thesis has two topics. First, the creation and application of the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) is described. Second, a series of studies of tibial fractures based on data from the SFR follows. LÄS MER
4. Open tibial fractures in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Background: Open tibial fractures are serious injuries, challenging both for patients and doctors. For the patients, personal, psychological and physical costs are enormous. For healthcare and society, open tibial fractures are injuries that require resources at a high cost. The literature on Swedish patients with open tibial fractures is sparse. LÄS MER
5. On the treatment of tibial fractures using the Ilizarov fixator
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to analyse the results of the Ilizarov method in patients with different types of tibial fracture and compare them with conventional methods, in terms of primary union, complication rates, post-operative function, quality of life, and how the patients´ gait was affected during rehabilitation. Fifty-eight patients with isolated diaphyseal fractures (Study I) were randomised to treatment with either the Ilizarov method (IL) or locked intramedullary nailing (IM). LÄS MER
